I have read all all the replies,,,and I can't believe noone has stated the obvious,,,,, Call a cam company and give them all the info they ask you for and get them to suggest or build you a cam,,,,, they can build a custom grind for your car and needs ,,, and it don't cost any more than pulling a # off a magazine page..... and then you know it's right..... they will need to know Tire size,,, Rear gear ratio... Transmission,,, stall if you run one,,,weight of the car... and they will ask a little about your motor and what your intemtion are for the car ,,, race////street///combo///ect......... so we can give you all kinds of ideas for cams but this is your best bet,,, call a cam company of your choice ,and see what they say..... even better call a couple different ones and compare the specs to see if they are close ,,,, then you will know that they all know what they're talkin bout.......

I'm not an expert but I've noticed a trend towards higher lifts and moderate duration. This has the advantage of improving valve open time without all the overlap associated with long durations. This can result in more overal power throughout the rpm range. Consider a 1.7 roller rocker on a small duration cam to boost lift. My 2 cents Mitch Sunnyvale, CA

Er, that's good info, but it doesn't help me with figuring out what grind/lift/duration /etc to be looking for. Still, I'll keep Isky in mind.
