performance camshaft question

okay, so in the near future i plan on dropping in a new camshaft. here are my options...

Grind: 17030. Lift(In/Ex): .460/.460. Duration(In/Ex): 260/260. Characteristics: Moderate idle, good power 1500-5000 RPM.

Grind: 17033. Lift(In/Ex): .480/.480. Duration(In/Ex): 274/274. Characteristics: Good idle, power range 2000-6000 RPM. Great slalom grind, works well with stock carbs or triple Webers.

Grind: 17034. Lift(In/Ex): .460/.460. Duration(In/Ex): 270/280. Characteristics: Rougher idle, excellent performance. Pulls hard from 3000-6500 RPM.

which would be best for drifting?

you might want to call motorsport and see what they reccomend with the L28 with EFI... certain cam choices might not work well with the factory fuel injection system.

Smile powerband range

wherever your power band is on your engine is pretty much where u should be drifting so you would want the cam that fits that range best.
