Need info on your combo first. What compression ratio, blower or N/A, what cylinder heads, what rpm you want/usage of car, etc.

Stick w/ the stage 1 cams but don't go further than the stage 2 cams. Companies to look at are Crane, Comp, Crower, and VT.

yeah you should wait till you get new heads cause theres no use in installing the cams now and having to do it all over again when you get new heads. and also you will see more gains with the heads and cam with just the cam you wont see more than about 15hp

so i should just go ahead and save up for the heads AND the cams together and put them on at the same time? alright that sounds cool thanks for the info, instead of cams would it be worth buying a new intake manifold insteak for right now?

the stock manifold is plenty, deal with that after heads and cams.

Also, a good place to get cam recommendations from is the cam company themselves.

If your got stock heads and want a good dailyt driver cam a comp cams 262 or VT stage 1's are perfect for you. But i think money is spent better elsewhere first.
