ive been talkin to an engine builder that owns a shop that builds engines for just about everything and i was goin to get him to custom grind me a cam.... he told me that first i needed to find someone that has a really good set of heads and cam to see what works well. he said that its really important to find cam and heads that work well together...soo im wanting to know what yall have and whats the best....im looking for max of 550 rwhp when all is said and done.

If he is trying to make 550 WHP on all motor he better be swapping in a different engine.

Unless your going to forge the bottom end there isn't any point in getting a custom grind IMO, and the heads are a large waste of money. You can make 280-285 on a boltons/cammed car, but only about 300-310 on a heads/cams/bolton car. A good set of worked heads are going to run you 1300+ not including shipping or install... just not worth it for the extra 15-20 WHP, not including pulling the engine apart etc.

If you want a set of cams, just get a set of VT stage 1s or 2s and be done with it. Unless your ready to stepup to a forged shortblock you won't be able to take advantage (due to RPM limit) of anything more agressive than a stage 2 anyway.

In any case, its not nessicarry to go to a local shop to get a custom grind, places like MPH and I am sure THR can order you a custom grind from shops like comp or VT, usually at no or very little extra cost. your local shop is going to have a hard time getting their hands on cam blanks for a 2v 4.6

he's not custom grinding the cam himself...he knows one of the heads at comp cams thatll do it CHEAP!
