   well tbh i only really now about newmans cams and the ph3 is the "best" you can have with standard pistons and inlet manifold, if you got the ph4's or ph5's you need your pistons pocketing or buy forged pistons and to get the most out of them you would want (but not need) throttle bodies but on ph5's you would have no low down power and have a shit idle but would pull like a mother fucker higher up the rev range

    you have to think all cams have a trade off in one area of the rev range to get a gian elsewhere. The ph3s or catcam 708's be best for a daily driver with minimal trade off in pre 4k torque . The ph4/5s as mentioned really need solid lifters/pocketed pistons and throttle bodies to maintain drivability especially on a road based car,
