I've allways used Sig Erson or now just called Erson cams.
I did buy one lunati cam but it got traded off to a buddy that was racing the same type of motor. I hear that Isky has a broader power band. Lets hear the type cam you like and why? thanks.

In my opinion, thats impossible to answer, it depends on the application.
Ok Stepside 454 then lets say for a healthy street/strip roller, you know a nice weeked warrior.

well, again, depends on application, when I redo my 454, I plan to use a roller, & I think Ive decided on a Crane grind.
If your lookin' for a cam thats designed for your particular app, and someone that really knows his stuff, check here...

Where is your power band or your RPM range Is the range as wide or broad as Isky's? Just curios. I've allway's heard you want the broadest possable power band. Have you compared it to other cam manufactures same type cam to see other cam ranges?

... who me? Maybe I should qulify that statement. I don't own a 454. I do have onea' his cams in a Ford. (as yet unfired) I have taken his high perf enging class twice, and may well take it again! I'v been to his shop, and seen the qulity of the work. I know he got his chops from Ed Winfield. I know he grinds cams for everything from club racers to NASSCAR, as well high zoot restos. I know he can give'ya just about anything ya want, within reason. He will require a lot of information from you reguarding what you have and what you wanna' do with it. So you see its' more of a personal recomendation based on my experence, not on a specific engine/app. Sorry if I confused the issue.
For my Oldsmobiles, Lazercams usually does pretty well. single guy working out of his basement probably, but he does good work anyway. He's like streets if he made cams :D
I dont think so streets. Switching back and forth between fuels is a bad idea on any engine, I wonder what the cetane rating IS on vegtable oil and theres No Way my Girlfriend is going to like smelling like McDonalds! Just let me finish cleaning her up and tuning it in, then we'll talk fast-food fuel. But not untill :p
Geeze I thought Matt was bad about stealing threads.
Little did I know it would be my buddy Streets. What U think about this Pro70z28, Dave Severson, Uncle Bob and Matt he's trying to take your job, Get him Matt!!! HE! HE! HE!

comp cams are awsome i never had a problem
comp cams are very good in my opion followed by crane just stay away from edelbrock.
As for the best cam grinder....Ed Iskanderian....
He used to flow each cylinder and grind a cam accordingly....for the most part I have used Cam Dynamics (now Crane) , Crane , Comp Cams , Crower , House brands , Lunati and have good results for all ....if I want an all out block busting cam I have them privately machined....
I've been using Comp Cams in my Chevys and Fords for about 15 years now, and I would recommend giving them a try for your needs. They make lots of grinds, available as just the cam, or with various kits. And best of all, they're located in Memphis, Tennessee, home of Booker T & The MG's, and you can't beat that can you?
DISCLAIMER:
The above is an unsolicitied opinion, and as such, is open to criticism.
