Default cam

ok, im wanting to put a cam in my car. its all stock right now, exhaust is high on the list... and w. the exhaust id love to do a cam and get that nice lope... future plans involve heads and intake, but right now as $ permits im just going to do a cam, i know it wont give me much performance, but itll sound nice for now, and when i do my heads and intake, the cam will already be there... so the ? is whats a good cam to put in her? i want something noticable, and that will give me good performance when i do my heads and intake, but nothing over the top... and suggestions guys? (ps.. this is more of a thought, dont know that ill acutally do it anytime soon, just doing my research tho)

stock heads/motor, go with the E303 unless you plan on doing more, if so, get a comp ground for your planned combo.

light lope, power-band shifted upwards in the rpm band to where you make peak hp a ittle over 5000rpm or so, 10-15whp gain.

Since you plan on going with a better setup later, its just a cheap cam that will do about as well as anything else with the anemic E7 heads.

No, im sure you could buy a better one, call comp cams. The E is pretty good for stock though imho.
