Not Ranked
What is a moderate cam anyway?  Reminds of my high school days when cam's were rated like "3/4 race" and "full race". My old motor was truly a "full race" cam, didn't come on until 3000 and was good to 7000, a real beast to tame on the street. My current cam has that great "lumpy idle" and works best slightly over 2000, I guess it's "3/4" race, maybe "moderate"?
Oh, and compression is another factor! At only 9.6 to 1 my cam would prefer higher compression to make up for the lack of cylinder filling at lower rpm.
