That question is open ended. Do you have a spec that you want it ground to? Do you have any flow numbers or any other relevant info that would help them come to the grind for your application?

You are going to need info such as gears, stall if applicable, weight, head flow numbers, cubes, estimated HP and goals for the vehicle, and vehicle weight. Those are just the highs, they may need a bit more info other than that.

If you have a specific grind you are looking for open a parts catalogue and point and call as any of the manufacturers can custom grind what you want. If you want them to do the work still call and talk with them and see who matches your ideas the best or who you feel most comfortable with. Discuss whether or not you want a billet or cast piece as well.

I'm a huge LE fan but I don't know how much experience he has in the solid roller dept since I've yet to really see anyone run an "LE-spec'd" solid roller cam. Id imagine he can setup you up well but I'd have to lean towards AI on this subject since alot of people have had great luck with their solid roller setups

I'd trust my project to Bret Bauer or Lloyd Elliott anytime.
Both have extensive experience with both HR and SR cams.
