^^I agree, select a cam that matches the heads as close as possible while satisfying your driveability characteristics that you want. (ie close to stock idle, mild shake, or full blown 60's hot rod choppyness) heads and cam combo should match well together to make nice power across the RPMs!

also the bigger cam you go, the more you need to mill the head for better compression. a mild cam like 224/228 .581 .588 mill to 62cc. big cams like G5-X3 mill to 59-60cc

Enjoy the NA power!
