You didnt mention if its a flat-tappet or roller-cam engine, but I'm guessing the 350 Goodwrench engine in your profile is a flat-tappet.

Is this a daily driver? Street/Strip? You can also call Crane or Comp's cam help tech lines and ask them. They'll be more than helpful and help you choose a cam for your needs.
