Do you have an auto or manual? Are you willing to have to raise the idle and have it rumble a bit?
Are you going to upgrade the heads along with it? How about your intake manifold and headers? These answers inform the decision.

Jared, you will get 100 opinions from 100 members on the subject of camshafts. I'd recommend that you use the search feature and do a ton of reading about the various cams out there and learn more about the cams in order to form some opinions of your own. Once you have it narrowed down to a few specific cams, it will be easier for us to help you out.

Use the resources here to learn about things, its more fun than just having someone tell you what to put in your car
