The 26g does appear to be slightly more streetable than the 26a but still more duration and overlap than 510. The 510 should still be more streetable. .02.

I can vouch only for the 510 which pulls hard over stock.

510 produces nice lope at idle, you can tell its an upgrade from the sound. Sorry multiple posts cant get longer post to work.

RE: Need help with cam differences.

On second thought the arguments seem to be sort of contratictry. One poster said less low end torque the other quoted Andrews as more low end torque.
And what is meant by streetable?

RE: Need help with cam differences.

streetable means its still easily rideable on the street. Sometimes people go overboard on cams and its more of a race engine than street engine. Its just a term.
