You have many options and it basically comes down to what you want in the long run. With that being said about the blower, I suggest something like the E cam. Its duration is great for forced induction and it performs well (especially with heads and an intake) without boost. Thats what I run. A friend of mine has a custom cam with the lift of an F cam with the duration of the E cam. He also runs a blower with 8-10psi boost. Its popular, its not extremely pricey and it works for what you want to do.

is a custom grind cam like your friend has worth the xtra money over a simple Alphabet cam? i can get a deal heads port/polish.. top notch job with everything need to put the heads bak on installed ready to go and a E303 cam shipped for 1050ish... i would of course be without a car for a few weeks... but thats not my main consern.... would it be easiest to go with this E303 cam i head it has a lil loop but not to much and runs well in higher RPM which is were i would be getting most horsepower... and since it comes with a nice package i thot would the custom grind cam be worth it... its just goin to be a weekend fun car mayb a take it to the track once in a while but nothing major... something for me to learn with both how to put stuff together and learn to handle that kinda horsepower.. i dont wanna go to radical with this car... only other thing i mite do besides suspension would be a very small shot of nitrous.. like a 25-50shot mostly for the cooling effect and for the purge... gotta love it... like i said i wanna safetly max out hte block so like 400rwhp is my goal a lil more would be nice but not to much more i wanna keep it same... granted **** happens i know but i am at the understanding that a stock 302 can handle 500-550hp on average so i was thinking 400rwhp was pretty safe... what is everyones input on a E303 cam??? and is gettin a cobra intake U/L ported worth it?? i wanna keep the stock cobra look if possible

The tfs cam is a good cam all the way around. I'd get a custom cam tho, gonna be a bit more price, but it'll give you the best gains.

I don't think his cam was too hard to come by. Stuff like what you are trying to do is rather popular. Hell, its basically what I plan to do. Many big-name cam manufacturers do custom stuff. Go google ape**** and you will find some ideas.
