I hesitate to write about this, but I must:
There is always the discussion about how a hotter cam gives up so much low end performance. I don't buy it. It's always a combination that makes the car/engine run well.
I run a Potvin "Eliminator" 425 in my 32 Tudor (Pete's grind). I don't care what anyone says, there is no stock cam (or stock flathead engine) that will outpull my engine across a stoplighted intersection. NONE.
I firmly believe that performance is the combination of the car, gearing, engine that produces the package.
Having said that, YES... If you were to compare a stock engine with a stock cam to the same stock engine with a larger/bigger/more duration cam, then maybe the stocker is better. BUT, no one does that. No one takes a stock engine and puts a dragster cam in it without a host of other modifications.
Just my firm opinion
