Default Help picking cam

Hey guys i just got a pair of 2000gt heads and intake to do a pi swap on my 98gt and I was wondering what kind of cams I should get? Like what lift and duration shouldthey have?I like the lopy sound the B303 cam sounds like in the 5.0s. I want that sound and some performance too. Also will a superchips tuner or diablo sport turner or something like that be able to tune my stock computer or wil I need to buy a new chip?

+1 this is a good cam but it will not give you the lope your wanting, but the stage 2's will not help you at all. also with the stage 1's you don't NEED to change the valve springs

although, if the heads arent on the car, i say do valves, valvesprings, and retainers... its alittle easier with them off the car.

You have to be careful with a larger cam in a PI swapped car though.PTV is an issue with too much lift/duration.

PTV shouldn't be a real issue with stage 1's though, right?
