Wade 1147c, great mid range and top end. Very street able but will also make over 500 rwkw if need be, but I doubt your rods n pistons will like that

Was running a wade 1147c. Now I'm running a wade 818. Great mid range to top end cam. The 1147c are mainly used for top end turbo's with large A/R's & 30+ psi. I'm running a wade 818 with a 20+ psi turbo. Will be upgrading the turbo later but till then I'm impressed with the wade 818. Yeah yeah the 1147c sounded mean but the sound of detonation was even meaner. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

For something used on the street I wouldn't go much larger than an 818. I'm running an 1147/1522 in mine and would go back to the 818 any day for the difference in response

I'm using a HD video camcorder. Any suggestions to make the quality better.
