i can understand why your having a problem picking a cam, you have a problem picking words and putting them together to form an understandable sentence.

anyways, a custom cam would be your best bet.

Damn.. No need to criticize, we all know what he ment. This isn't english class. But yeah I would go with a custom grind cam. Call up the sponsors on here, they will guide you in the right direction.

Looks like it was typed from a phone. Which can be aggravating. Might wanna check your own before you criticize too much. Anyway, custom grind is the only way to go in this situation.
