First all the cam company's have a help dept for picking the right cam...Get the dyno 2000 program and play with the different cams and see which one best suits your needs...i spent 2 months this fall going through back issues of magazines and inputting cam specs to see what they would with my engine....actually the best specs I found were in a 351 Ford cam, so I called Crane told them the specs and found what I wanted in a SBC cam...only thing I changed was the CL ....CompCams will NEVER get anymore of my business....I've lost roller lifters the last 2 years...this year there was 2 broken lifters and 4 without bearings in the roller when I pulled the engine....gets expensive spending 5 grand a year, just for a rebuild....both Crane and Crower have pressurized roller lifters for oiling the the roller...I'm going with the Crower this year and hope they last...
