You want to get some cams? Buy a honda. If you want A cam, then your good to go with what you have

Id look into a 224 or so. They are a good DD cam. The only thing is your going to want a stall with whatever cam you go with.

Stall & gears are a must. But for a great DD cam, look at the TR224. Without knowing who spec'ed out the cam on craigslist, I would avoid it.
