the valve float is good, it will give you more duration, it helps the most with NAWZ

Stop being a cheap *** you want a custom cam, you dont want somthing off the self. A custom cam is the best way to go so listen to what people have to say.

What's the deal with a custom cam grind? If a off the shelf cam has the specs to make good power then whats the difference? Does it just sound cool to say you have a CUSTOM cam? I never have understood this..

Off the shelf isnt bad. It's just not as good as a custom.

Because all the duration and all the lift isn't going to make any more power if your heads cant utilize that duration and lift. On stock heads a big cam isn't worth the drivability losses. If you looking for the best results get a heads and cam package that were designed to work together, and a good dyno tune.
