Default 427 stroker cam???

what kind of grind should i look for in this kind of cam?

it's going to be a street car so i want a desent idle, but i also want the redline as high as i can get it, nothing north of 7000rmp tho...the motor is for roadracing so power under the curve is important to me

any thoughts?

What heads are you gonna run? That plays a big part in someone giving you a recommendation on a cam. You should start getting responses after you let use know. Good luck

i'm planning on running the AFR 225's with 72cc combustions chambers and the upgraded spring package (good to .650 lift). they're a little bit of overkill, but i plan on twin turbos and nitrous in the future.

Just call comp directly or one of the suporters of this site. Many of them can place the order for you and have it drop shipped. I always use texas speed. Just call one of them with the spec Predator_Z gave you. And yes! every cam that I have seen this guy recommend has performed exactly as he said it would. Go for it, should result in neck snapping torque......
