What are you looking for. Daily driver, Street strip, track only. And what are your future plans with the car nitrous, turbo, etc.

no smaller then a 228/228, i would say a 233/239 on 112 would be awesome. You could also go with something like a 231/234 on 111 that would get into the powerband a little quicker.

the 233/239 is a great compromise between the two. The ms3 might be a lot of cam for your gears, the torquer v2 is a great cam also and is a great all around cam.

going with any of the above mentioned cams and car setup, you wanting to keep stock gears will not help any of the cams reach it's powerband quickly. u will need gears or else you wont get the full performance of any cam.
