First off get rid of the 3" exhaust its killing your power. With your mods I would go with cms stage 2 blower cams. If you dont plan on running boost in the near future you need to get a NA cam.

It will hurt your power to run a blower cam NA. You can run run a blower cam but its not suggested. But selling a NA cam would be easy when it comes time to switch.

dont lie to yourself.. if you need help choosing a cam "type", i highly doubt youll know how to intall one. dont be a dick to someone giving you advice.

What he was saying is to run a N/A cam now for the power gain and get a blower cam when you get your "twin turbos" and sell your N/A cam. But if you wanna get the blower cam and have it sit around for god knows how long and keep your stock cam.. thats fine too.

theres alot of work you should probably do to your motor before you install your TT. not to mention your transmission, fuel lines, etc. but im sure you knew all that.

You just won't have the same responsiveness in the lower RPMs, IIRC... FI Camprofilesare designed with the correct duration/lift suitable for boosted applications... It's sort of like running a stage 3 N/A cam, when you won't even bring the RPMs up past 6k RPMs; the engine will sort of be on it's face until the higher RPMs..
