Default cam shopping....

im about to buy some cams for my car.....i have read and heard that i should go with the vt stage 1 cams....and use my stock springs......but i plan to port and polish heads and get a p51 intake later on down the road, should i still get the stage 1 cams or should i go ahead and get the stage 2?

your really not gonna see much gains from stage 2s without a forged bottom end... so you might just wanna go with stage 1s p51 and p&p then when you decide to forge your bottom end get some stage 2s and you will be making some serious muscle

Does anyone know how much a regrind would cost on a set of cams would it be worth it? or would I be better of just buying new?
