Depends on what cam you're looking at from Hamilton, personally I'd take a Hamilton over any other cam as they are their own design; not just a regrind. Not saying that regrinds don't yield benefits but at any rate it can only work within OEM specs. Understand what I'm saying? most everything I've read about cams you'll see quicker spool, increase in torque, and better economy (controlled by your foot of course) for the price; not the most bang for your buck and the cam doesn't "hold" the truck back until a pretty high ceiling is reached. That being said; there isn't anything wrong with running one on a street driven truck either.

Personally I have had great luck with hamiltons cams. Have ran 2 different cams in my personal truck ( soon to be three) and installed a few on friends trucks. Each showed great improvement in both bottomed and top end power.

As for the high ceiling thats more of a head flow issue IMO, when zach first started using his core design his 181/210 drop in grind made power till 4200 rpm in my 94.
