We can't tell you what cam will work best, because than that would be recommending an existing grind or off-the-shelf cam.

If you want a custom cam, one whose specs are created specifically for your vehicle, the most popular people are Jay at Camshaft Innovations and Ed Curtis at Flow Tech Induction. You can also specify to Comp Cams what numbers you want in a cam, and they will grind a custom one for you as well. Quality is top notch no matter which of the three you go with, in materials anyway, the proof though is in the quality of the recommended specs.

Cam Motion has been arounf for a long time, they do good work as well. I've had customers send in their stuff from time to time.

When going with Ed or Jay you get the years of expierence they have in the industry, exact combo's, intentions etc... Neithe Ed or Jay grind there own cams, they do all the work to fit and form the profile and grind and have it ground o there exact specs, check them then ship them out.

The bitterness of a cheap product lingers longer than the sweet taste of a cheap price.

You want to go custom and get something great, then spend the extra 50 bucks or 100 bucks or whatever it is.

You have to pay to play.
