You need to narrow down what you want out of the combo. A cam that's good for my 393w will be useless in a N/A 302...

You need to pick a cam based on the output you'd like to see, the intended use, and whether or not you want it to pass smog. Don't worry about attempting to match it to a set of heads, that's the least of your worries.

If you dont want a custom made cam, Comp cams are the best in my opinion.

combo should not based around a cam... the type of cam that will be preferable to your set up will depend on the parts you have.
Figure those out first(heads, intake etc), buy them and then ask that question again..
Good luck.

oh... i would do a search on google.. i'm sure there are sites out there that teach you or atleast go over this process.
pd: i read my response and sounds condescending.. that's not my objective, i was just giving you an idea of where to look. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
