Just starting a search for a cam. Gonna run a track heat intake, AFR 185's, all the bolt on's 30# injectors, and spray the piss out of it. The pistons are gonna be notched for the 185's so hopefully i wont have to worry about p-v clearance. Want a big of cam as possible that loves nitrous and has a nasty nasty idle. Its not my DD so performance over drivability and its also a 5spd. Where do you think i should start looking at for a cam or who should i call. I'd really like to stay away from a custom grind because this is just for this season next year will bea different setup.

If I wasnt going to have it more than a year, I personally would hold off until I could get what I really wanted. Other than that, look for something that has lift the heads can use and is good for nitrous(what makes a good nitrous cam I dont know). There is probably an inexpensive alphabet cam that would work or a Trick Fow grind, probably Crane and Comp too.

call up comp cams. id get somethin around .500 lift even higher if the valves have enough clearance. comp can get ya a good cam for cheaper than ford racing and its more customized to what you want.

just got mine from ed not to long ago it is for a blower for 8-12 psi and witg 1.62 RR's it has more lift than a x-cam. the power band is from 2200 all the way to 5300 but since you dont want custom then you are stuck with a junky letter cam or a shelf cam.
