What are you goals? Need more specifics. What brand are you looking at? Are you wanting the NSR's?

well, if you dont mind a rough idle, i'd say stage 3. but there may be some supporting mods that are recomended for the stage 3 cams. examples are bigger throtle body, maf sensor, and larger intake tube (c&l racer size). but i dont know for sure if you need them. you will defenatly benefit more from the cams if you have that stuff though.

a blower would get best results though.

My bad. If you go with the VSR's you are still looking to spend a good amount if you have them professionally installed. If you go that route I would go with the stage 2's since you didnt want the really rough idle and wanted it streetable. While the stage 3's would still be streetable that stage 2's sound best for your application. But where do you get annoying in the same sentence as stage 3 comp cams on a stang? haha j/k man good luck on the decision.

if your worried about idle quality, stage 2 might even become annoying. but its all about sacrafice i supose.

i hear the FRPP hot cams are pretty good as an all arround cam. decent idle and good power. brenspeed sells them, check 'em out.
