find out what your heads flow max at what ever liftand find a cam that meets that lift on intake and exhaust with what ever given rockers you will be using. there is no point in throwing a cam in there that exceeds the lift and flow of the heads it doesnt do any good. custom grinds are a great way to get max power out of your engine
