Who do I call about a cam?

I'm building a 383 from a kit I got from CNC. All forged,internal balance. I plan on using juice on this motor. I'm using an HSR and AFR 195's with their spring upgrade. Keeping it a hyd. roller. Should I call Holley or AFR for a cam recommendation?

Call up comp cams, i believe they cam reccomend a OTS cam that will work with whatever combo you tell them or they can make you up a custom grind!

Agreed. Crane cams would be another good source. Tell them what you want to do with the car and what type of power you want and they will be able to lead you in the right direction. Get ready though because you will have many many options to choose from .

Also give AFR a call. They have a lot of dyno information with those heads.
