1. get a spec'd cam.
2. search, there's plenty of info on this site
3. there's a sticky at the top of this section that gives good info about them both.

There is no single Patrick G cam. You e-mail him your mods and expectations, and he specs out a cam for your combo. You then go to a cam grinder and get it made.

That's a Patrick G cam.
