Default cam thoughts

I looking into a new build. looking for your opinions on cams--

LS 1.8 bottom
p30 pistons
LS rods
B16 head
looking around 10.6:1 compression
Staying naturally aspirated

I'm looking at either Toda spec b cams or Brian Crower Stage 2 cams

Give some pros and cons--

ls/v with p30's will yield alot more than 10:6:1 compression.
Pretty sure p30's with a b16 head will be more closer to 12:1 i could be wrong...

honestly i have heard nothing good about brian crowers cams.
Iv heard good about the Crower stg2 cams "No not BRIAN crower"

Yeah that setup should be around 11.7:1 compression. I've never been too impressed with Brian Crower cams and there a re better options than Toda B's these days. The Toda B's were kinda rough on timing belts too due to the ramp rates. I'd look into some skunk2 stage 2's or Endyn cams which are basically Jun3 copies for that setup. If you are having someone put your motor togther that really knows how to check valve to valve, valve to piston, and retainer to guide seal clearances then look into the Skunk2 Pro1 cams.
