Default What cam with my setup?! Need help!

Going front of car to back. The heads, shift kit, and stall are all ready to be installed. My car is not daily driven. It's driven weekends and occasionally I'll take it to work. I want mid 11's and around 420-450 rwhp. I'm going to probably get a custom grind cam, just want help! Thanks!

With those gears I wouldn't get too agressive. Why not call the experts first, and see what they have to say

Dont waste your money on gears for a stock 10 bolt! Figure 200 for gears plus install charges thats over 400 bucks that you can put towards a 12 bolt, 9inch, s60. You can get a used one on here for decent prices. Save up for an aftermarket rear

I would go with a Tick Performance stage 3 or Brian Tooley's stage 4 but that's just my opinion. I did the mild cam thing and it wasn't enough. Don't do it twice.
