I know that the key to getting the most power out of your motor when doing cam or heads is to find the right heads for the cam your getting or the other way around. How do you guys know (spec wise) what heads go best with what cams and what cams go best with what heads?

Your cam needs to be spec'd to take advantage of whatever your heads you are using, their flow characteristics, chamber design, etc. Also in the mix is your compression ratio, gears, transmission, the purpose of your car, valvetrain you are willing to pay for, and your drivability/idle wishes.
