It all depends on what you want. Stock heads? You can't go wrong with any of the MTI cams. THe B1, T1, and C1 all kick ***. But if you want a little more bite, go with the TR 224. The G5 cam has even more bite, but is touchier about tuning and the likes.

Man do a search on "Cams". There is a wealth of information on this board.

My webpage has a lot of cam shaft info also.
http://xs-fx.com/raughammer/cam_info.htm

Find a car that has your target level of performance and emulate that cars parts. This will not guarantee you his level of performance, but it will "get you in the ball park."

Best thing I can suggest is to do a lot of reading and educate your self.

Good luck!
