Default couple of questions (help)

I hope this is the right section, if not sorry.
Anyways soon i'll be looking to get me a custom grind cam, currently i'm running 237/242 (don't have exact spects) made around 430 to the wheel.
I want a cam for my new upcoming setup. (full p&p 243's [stage 3] with valve job, victor jr intake, scorpion 4 barrell throttle body) ,all the bolts ons, gears, etc.
Cuz right now i'm running stock 243's and ls6 intake/stock tb and that's what made 434rwhp..
I don't have my pistons cut for high lift clearance,

1st question is how much i'm looking to spend to cut my pistons for clearence?? (Because i'm sure my custom grind will be bigger lift because I think my current 237/243 cam is around .605/.604 (something like that))

2nd questions is who makes the best custom grind cam specs and how much am i looking to spend on my custom grind cam? Because I know most off the shelf cams go for around 320-400

3rd question is what's the best intake manifold i should look to get? the victor jr?? Or am i forced to go with that intake manifold since I'm buying the scorpion 4 barrell throttle body?

Thanks in advanced, all help is appriciated.

Call Martin at Tick Performance for a custom cam setup, he will tell you what intake to buy etc based on the cam he specs out for you. He is extremely helpful and will take time to explain everything to you.
