 Gary- A really nice way to select a cam is to get all head work done (including whats needed to accomodate bigger cylinders, compression ratio, ect) and get the heads flowed on a flow bench- then have a custom cam ground for your engine based on its flow data, compression ratio, rod ratio, desired power band, and vehical weight. The cam grinders can get you a cam that will be perfect for your engine, and buggy, no compromises. If you buy a "off the shelf" cam, or use a "standard cam profile" based only on desired power band, you will be either over-cammed or under cammed- both possiblities you are leaving a lot on the table!!I know that crower cams does this, as well as american-pi.com- but there are many others.Kevin Nash
