That depends on what you want out of your motor. Do you want low end torque, mid range power or top end power? Your rear end gears play a big part in cam selection too.

First of all, your car isn't going to run with a different cam. You need to convert to mass air first, nuff said.

theres lots of cams that work with speed density you just have to be careful about the cams your looking at and make sure you get one that works with it.
