Default Having trouble on which way to go.

I've decided that I'm going to keep my heads and just upgrade on the cam. I have stage 2 Jantzer ported 241 heads milled 0.035. The problem I have is what kind of cam I want. What I mean is should I get a off shelf cam or custom. I don't mind flycutting the pistons for a bigger cam. I've read the article of the MS4 w/ their heads and they milled them and flycut their pistons and was thinking I can just add the MS4, hoping to get somewhere near their #s. If I do get a cam off the shelf it would be between the MS4 or G5x3. If it ends up w/ a custom grind who does proven custom cams and is there extra money.

Comp can grind you a custom grind and I believe the price is really not different.

Would it be too much compression if I get one these big cams?

Get a bigger cam. I love mine. Comp would probably be your best bet for custom grind like Brad said.

Generally, the bigger cam you go, the less you have to worry about too much compression, right?

That is why you see the guys with 12-1 comp. running around on pump, they have huge cams. Without trying to use to many buzz words (DCR), larger cams have more overlap that bleeds cylinder pressure.

I welcome anyone to tell me I'm full of it if I am wrong
