I recently bought a set of 102500 series comp cams(262) for my 97 to go along with the pi swap. They are a mild cam for down low/mid range power. The stock springs/ecu/stall are fine with an auto, although I have a 5 speed. The cams should be worth at least 20 rwhp at peak with the right tune. Just remember, you won't be losing power down low with these cams. The other 2 cams are for high revving gts with at least a tune, springs, and a higher stall. Many people reccommend new forged internals since your engine whouls be revving 7 grand plus to take advantage of the wild cams.
