The Tomahawk TC-02 is working great for me. If you don't mind a little valve train noise and are looking for max power from the cheaper HFT/SFT cams, don't discount the solid lifter cams. I think they have been unfairly dubbed high rpm cams by many. In every instance that I have gone from HFT to SFT, I have gone quicker, made more power everywhere, ESPECIALLY at lower rpms. I know, I know....goes against popular opinion, but that is what I have found. I have done it in SBC and Pontiac engines. Had a 383 stroker in a third gen with Trickflow heads and 224/224 HFT cam. Ran very good, slight lopey idle. Swapped to a 236/236 SFT over a weekend. Car idled so smooth, I thought for sure they sent the wrong cam. Car was an absolute beast at all rpms with the solid.
