What exactly is a 'properly specced' cam anyway? The fact is if you talk to 4 different cam designers, you are going to get 4 different cams. They all have their ideas on the best way to fill the cylinder. I know this for a fact because right now I have 3 cams sitting on the shelf that are all 'properly specced', and 1 in my engine that supposedly is. I even took a huge variable out of their equation as my class rules limit me to a maximum of 1/2 inch of lift, but yet all 4 'properly specced' cams are entirely different. The one that is actually 'properly specced' is the 1 that goes the fastest at the track.

Theres plenty of shelf cams out there that would work great with an unported TFS Twisted Wedge. Most of the variables rely on how you are going to use this car. Is it a quarter mile only car, mainly strip with a little street driving, mainly street, etc... A 270 degree at .050 cam might work great at the track, but requires alot of valve spring pressure which doesnt necessarily make it the best street cam. Unless you are in to replacing springs and lifters often.

For the service you get before and after the sale, Anderson Ford Motorsport has the best shelf cams available. They also have matching springs for their cams. They have tried this stuff and they know what works. Unlike some people who find ways to make horsepower and keep in to themselves, AFM markets and sells their findings.
