Just realizing they sell cams, I'm not sure if they're comp lobes or what but it has me curious if anybody has run them before.

Tried to search but didn't find a thread on them.
Now that I look I'm sure these are their own in house lines, they're comparing them to comps for

Here are a few. I would trust them to do the cam if you are going to use their heads. I would also trust them to do you up a cam only as well.

All their cathedral heads are great choices.
The 5.3 with the manley lightweight valve option is a fantastic choice because you can get 5.3 heads for about $50-$100 all day. The high compression 241 option is great too. It doesn't always have to be 243/799 to make great power.
If I could do it again, I would do the 5.3 head option with light valves milling them as far as possible and putting on a .040" cometic to get 12:1 compression.
I'd then add a big fuarking cam, like the BTR stage 4 (235/242) to bring the dynamic comp back down to a reasonable level.
That thing would be a power house. I bet it would trap 128-130.
These with manley valves

And of course a fast 102/headers.
The thing would SCREAM.
The best part is Brian Tooley and the guys from AI have great customer service and pricing to boot.

Yea I've already decided on A.I. to be my future heads.. Going with martin in the cam after a call to him today. Probably will get a new custom spec at that point. I'm wondering how the 5.3 heads compare to their 219cc high compression 241s, both will make about the same compression, everything equal.
What's the benefit of raising static compression and lowering dynamic via can specs? Sounds good but I thought in the long run dynamic is all that actually matters? And a downside to doing it that way is you'll probably have to flycut right? Not saying it's bad just trying to learn.

With the high compression 241's, you could get by with a higher compression without having to flycut, as long as the cam is not too big. If you tell Martin what heads you're getting and what compression you want to run, he can get you a cam that will fit. Better yet, let him help you determine what cc the heads need to be and what static and dynamic compression would be best.

12:1 + a small cam + pump gas is not a good combo as you will be leaving a lot of power on the table.
