Default Need help in choosing cams

I have zero knowledge about camshafts besides the fact that they add decent HP and sound great on idle.

As of now, I'm saving up for the following mods for my 07 GT. (Auto)

JBA Long Tube Headers + JBA H Pipe
Steeda U/D pulley
CAI+Tune
3.73 gears

I was hoping you guys could help recommend a set of cams that add the most HP. Looked around and found cams going from stage 1-3 so I'm guessing stage 3 would be best?

Would appreciate your input on which brand/stage/type of cams to buy cause I'm truly lost.

On a side note, what other mods can add up to 20+hp?

There's tons of options on Cams. What do you want the most? Sound? All out power? Mix of both but with a preferance to one? Do you want stock driveability at low rpm's?

Believe me, I researched the hell out of difference in cam pro and cons prior to doing mine and also found everybody has their opinion on what's "Best" but there is no such thing. Depends on what you want to do with the car and what goals you have for it.

Max power gains is my first option as of now. Looking to get the most hp out of the cams as possible. What do you recommend Franchi?

Are you going to want to replace the springs or go NSR ( no springs required )

If you aren't doing the install yourself, having springs replaced will def increase the cost of install.
