No need for the caps. You didn't even give enough info for someone to help you out. In order to answer your question, your gonna have to deal with some questions. Otherwise, you question is too broad, with not enough details.

1- Sound is not what you choose a cam for.
2- Cam swap needs major tune to make power.
3- Be specific in your questions.
4- State all supporting mods you have to date and any possible future ones.
