If you're going to spend all that money, you should definitly get a custom cam from a reputable dealer.....FTI, Buddy Rawls, etc....

Ya I kinda figured that was the way to go but I was wanting to see what other people are running to get an idea on lift and duration with AFR 165s.
I am really worried about the lift becouse I dont know how much I can go with speed pro pistons and those heads. People have been telling me that 520 is the max lift i can go. I have stock cam now with 1.7 rr, I dont know what lift that is?

I second that. You're are going to want a custom cam, its worth the extra money because it will perform extremely well instead of trying different cams or asking random people on a forum.
