Best thing to do would be talking with a custom cam maker "I think steakmatt used FTI" and they will set You up with a cam that will maximize Your combo. So many different factors go into picking a cam that 99% of Us are just guesssing & might as well write a bunch of cam specss on pieces of paper and draw from a hat. It would be the best 300-400 buck's You could spend on Your car! Can't wait to build an aftermarket blocked stroker and throw a custom cam in it Myself FTMFW!!

Going with a custom you will have to consider upgrading your valvetrain unless u decide to go with a cam that your heads valve springs can handle...and I think 575lift is your max on the eddys....so 560 max probably...start writing your scenarios down...and see how much u want to spend
