Head flow #'s? Your cam selection needs to be best on where your heads will be at. If you have any questions call Alan or myself at the shop.

Definitely.

For example, if your heads don't flow so well on the exhaust side, get a cam with a larger duration on the exhaust lobe so the valve stays open longer to move that exhaust gas out.
