Give your performance-plan to your cam grinder with emphasis on which heads you are using or what has been done to your existing heads...flow info if you can provide it.

You've got it; those are 2 important things. For example- No point in choosing a cam that has .700 lift if your heads stop flowing at .550", etc, etc.

Most companies have a questionnaire they use to help them choose the best cam for your application. The more informed they are, the better the choice they can make for you.
Here is some info on cams and related stuff... I'm sure there are thousands of these...
