Need the static compression. (real not a guess)

Weight of the car and what converter you are running.

Are you willing to spend the money for a custom grind or do you want a shelf cam???

Car is 4200lbs(heavy) street cruiser but I want power! 3000 converter don't know the best option with off the shelf or custom grind but if I can go off the shelf with decent performance I'm for it.
