When picking cams, you really have to have a feel for what engine setup you want to end up with down the road. For example, expertly ported heads will let you run a more aggressive cam without idle problems. Getting the right springs is just as improtant. If you care about passing a smog test, that will limit your cam selection too.

Often a different cam is deired for forced induction vs. n/a.

It would suck to have to replace your new cams with newer ones down the road!

You can have a costum ground cam that can cost you more than that. If you are running a basicly stock engine and plan to keep it that way, your best bet is the E303.
