For best results, call a camshaft company hotline for the best off the shelf going or a custom one.
They will want to know Any of this that is applicable -
-Factory roller or flat tappet block
- head flow numbers or model,
-NA, turbo or supercharger
- intake and exhaust
-Compression ratio
-Transmission and a stock or higher rpm torque convertor
- vehicle approximate weigh
-rocker ratio
- intended driving use/power band
Shane at Crower cams lined me up with a custom cam for a different resto project this time, as the off the shelf ones from elsewhere else were 25+ year old, single pattern designs . I have had good experiences with Comp cams, but that’s been a while.

Okay I’ll give it a shot, When the time comes I’ll just call a cam shop and see what they recommend. Thank you for your help!
Custom cams can have a wait line, but the best off the shelf should be an easy match on a tech line for a blown 302.
