Default best cam

Currently I'm rebuilding my motor and looking to put in a good cam and having trouble on which one to go with but maybe thinking a comp cam. I plan on running around 10:1 compression, trick flow heads, full exhaust, 24# injectors with C&L 76mm MAF, 75mm tb, and performer intake. any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanks

+1 for custom grind, a good OTS cam is the Trickflow stage 1, or maybe even stage 2

comp cams make some good cams but they are off-the-shelf cams and not made exactly for your application like custom cams are so you won't see as big of gains

stage 1 and 2 is the aggressiveness of the cam:
stage 1: Good idle, strong midrange power. Aftermarket intake, heads, and headers recommended. Requires modified mass airflow.
Compression: 9:1 minimum
stage 2:Fair idle, good midrange power. 2,500-3,000 rpm stall converter or five-speed recommended.
Compression: 9.5:1 minimum

I believe it is the stalker front end. It was on the car when i got it. I assume my car was at one time wrecked in the frint, because the hood and bumper are aftermarket, and the paint is new from the fenders forward. Oh well, it drives![8D]
