Here's my setup. Edelbrock Performer RPM heads with the 1.90/1.60 valves, GT-40 tubular, 70mm TB, stock mass air for now, 1.6 RR, 5-speed, 3.73 gears, shorty headers with offroad h-pipe, flowmasters, pulleys. It is going to be a daily driver but I want it to be as fast/streetable as possible.

What cam should I use for this set up? I called a custom cam company and they initially suggested this cam assuming that I didn't want to go above 6000 RPM: .515/.535 lift, 220/228 duration on a 110 LSA. He told me that the Mass Air would take care of the idle on the 110 LSA.

I called today and I told them that I wanted to go with a higher lift and higher RPMs and they suggested this: .555/.555 lift, .230/.235 duration on a 112 LSA.

What do you guys think? Is it worth it or do I go with an off-the-shelf cam? I know that I can have them build the cam however I want but I just want some feedback from others. Thanks!!!
