Which Cams to go with?

I am looking for some input on which cams i should run. I am looking at getting a set of Josh's (OTTP) new cams. Thinking either the stage 3 or 4. Has anyone ran these cams yet? I asked Josh about stage 4 requiring adjustable cam gears and he said they weren't needed and that they should idle around 1000rpm. If you pick custom grind on my poll please let me know what grind you think i should go with.

Mod List-

Installed

Bolt-ons.
TVS, 2.8 pulley
Meth injection with 7gph nozzle

Going on soon

RSFS
LSJ-ion ported head
82# valve springs
ATI super damper
ZZP NBS
12gph meth nozzle

Since the ati damper is going to spin my blower pulley faster I may pulley up to keep the pulley size the same. I think a 2.7 without E85 may be a bit overkill. Lets hear everyone's opinions.

80% of the people on here are not smart enough to time the hex in the exh cam so don't go custom and you will need to check the cams centerline with a degree wheel and you will need adj cam gears if the cams are off

The custom grind would be through OTTP. Josh would time the hex for me. I am interested in checking the cams with a degree wheel no matter what cams i choose just to make sure everything checks out.

Awesome pick. Any idea when you will have them installed? What are your other mods?

ok but if the cam is off of centerline then the hex will be off also

I'm most likely going with the stage 4 cams since they are drop in ready. Custom grind was just a thought. lol Just waiting to hear back from Josh about when he can get me a set.
