Default Which cams?

I have a 2003 GT with the mods listed in my sig. I am interested in getting a set of cams, and wanted some advice as to which ones I should get. I read the cams thread that was stickied but I'm still not sure what to get. Which brand? Stage I or II? Do stage II's provide power at too high of an rpm range that would make themundesirable for a street car? I will be keeping the stock bottom end, by the way.

What should I do?

Thanks!

Just from what i have read id say stage 1. Like you said, again from what ive read, stage II's make power too high in the rpm range.

are there any stage I cams out there that have a special grind to them to work better with forced induction? I know that there are N/A stage II's and F/I Stage II's.....but never heard of Stage I's being specific.....

I would go with Stage II cams with a custom grind to drop the RPM range down just a bit. VT or Crowler you can't go wrong. With Stage II you will need valve springs though.

600 bucks for VT cams on thier website. I paid 600.00 for my stage 1's with no valvesprings. I would assume they charge extra for custom grinds aswell.

What about a tune afterwards? I have an Xcal2...Do I need to go out and get one of those damned 400 dollar custom dyno tunes afterwards? That would...how do you say....suck.
