Comp stage II or III?

Car is mostly street driven with a 5 speed. I want a nice lope but it needs to be streetable; more power is a +

Any sound clips?

I don't have cams yet, but I would say stage 3 cams. I had a set of stage 2 comp blower cams, but i wanted to go with a set of stage 3 blower cams, but I have friend that has a set of stage 3 NA cams #106500 that sounds go and makes good power. Here are the sound clips

Correct me if im wrong but arent stageII the best choice for a street driven positive displacement blower car?I have seen more than a couple stageIII setups loose power under the curve untill you hit 5.5-6k rpm.With that said you get better gains throughout the powerband that you use on the street even if your peak numbers dont go up much.If you want to rev your car higher and have impressive dyno sheets go stageIII if you want and all around faster car i would go stageII.Im sure this differs some depending on the manufacturer,but im just sharing my experiences.

Don't get all wrapped up in the "stage 1, 2, 3" hoopla. Look at the specifics of the grinds themselves, find someone that's actually DONE the work themselves not "their buddy, their friend...etc", with dyno evidence of power that you'll make. A camshaft grind can make or break how your engine runs. Choose wisely.

The following video shows my 03, with a KB 2.2 with off-the-shelf grinds from crower.

The car made 680rwhp on 17-18 psi all day long. Great drive-ability, plus it sounded wicked at a stoplight.
