I want to get a cam to match up to my heads. I have some Edelbrock 2.02's and was looking to gettings a cam that runs with the same powerband as my heads. So while looking I found myself wondering if its lift I want or duration?

Are the heads already on the car and running now? If so what kinda shortblock is it,a cam might cause piston-to-valve clearance issues...IMO custom grind is the way to go,lift and duration both help,with those valves duration might be real helpful.Maybe somebody can chime in and give you more info.
