The problem your going to run into is the limitations of your stock valve train with any real aggressive cam you will need to upgrade your valve springs, usually stock springs can only handle .570 the average performance exceeds that with minimal gains, as well stock ecu settings. What is this vehicle going to b use for, will it see a lot of street use- light to light etc.

If u go with a big cam u best change the spring it help get more miles out of the motor and u eliminate the risk of messing up a motor for a 200.00 set of springs they can be done leavin the heads on the motor as well if u goin to do it u only wanna do it once the second time gets exspensive
