If you call Crane, Comp Cams or one of the other manufacturers be sure and have all your specs close to hand. These folks will wantn to know every detail of your engine so they can help with getting the idle and performance you are looking for.They will also want to know how you will be using the vehicle.
Things you will need to be able to tell them
1) comp ratio
2)combustion chamber volume & head type/style
3)Transmission type and rear gear ratio
4)intake and exhaust you will be using
5)Idle quality expected
6)Vehicle weight
7)tire size(effects gear ratio)
8)I'm sure I've left something(s) out but someone will call me on it!!

Great advise here, call the cam manufacturer and ask. A couple of more suggested cam people are www.ultradyne.com and www.lunati.com ask about a street/power cam that builds nice torque and cylinder pressure where you want it. They all deal with questions you are going to ask, so....ask away
