Well as for the obvious a custom grind will always be the best cam for your set up. But if your just looking for an off the shelf cam the choice will be limited by the PTV clearance. Areyour pistonsdished, flat top, etc?

RE: school me on cams
submit an online form through compcams etc. They have digital software, to match a cam to put you where YOU want.
For example, after giving all my info, I found that I need a SMALLER lift cam, with a LARGER DURATION profile. 112 split
The exhaust side needs to be 230 and the intake 224 with a intake lift of .498 and exhaust of .520 and a power
range of 1800-5200rpm, valve float 5,700 rpm. Torque and HP will follow VERY CLOSE together, all the way to top end.
and a good-noticeable idle to make it street friendly.
My goal was to pull from stall speed all the way to my rev limit.
The 4:10's sweetned the whole deal

331 stroker + driveable + the best performance = custom cam......you may want to check this alternative .... the best.....IMHO.
