Scott,

What cam specs did you end up with?  I'm curious to compare them 
with what Cam Research ground for my Aussie-headed motor.

Thanks,
Dan Jones

Cam Research in Colorado (303.762.8196) ground a customer cam and
matched the head components for me based on my parts (4V quench heads,
headers, etc.) and desires (good streetable HP and tourque, good
vaccum, etc.).  They also broke in the cam.  

I'm very pleased and the extra money was worth it.  Also, be sure that
everything is matched (pistons, cam,  port plates, etc.) and BALANCED.
 My motor was 4 oz. off at the rear of the crank.  What a DIFFERENCE!

Good luck,

S. Black
