You don't need then flow numbers, not even if ordering a custom cam.

First flow numbers are easily manipulated and even when not manipulated different benches read differently.
Second any shop you should be trusting has a pretty good idea of what a ported LT1 head will want.
Custom cams are more about matching the owners goals without the catalog companies emissions compromises and the way they compensate for many folks choosing too large a cam.

Not to mention that the flow numbers tell you nothing about port velocity. Two different heads can "flow" comparably but be very different animals on the same setup.

Well the cam is coming from Cam motion, I figured they have done a few SR LT1 cams. IT asked for it on the order sheet, Didnt know how important numbers were.

Companies often have to pander to customer ignorance, the ones that do this best are often regarded as being great companies to deal with.

Don't get me wrong Cam Motion is certainly a good company. Just tell them what the heads are, they have probably dealt with them before.

Who do you recommend to grind a SR cam nowadays?
