you dont need a cam until you decide to do a h/c/i

first mods:

gears
exhaust
MAF

bingo... wich cam you choose is best determined by what heads and intake you go with. when you say 300hp do you mean to the wheels ?

doesn't take much to get 300 crank hp. start with full exhaust, gears, UDPs, K&N panel filter, 65mm TB...if you're not happy with the results and want just a tad more go for an E cam and some 1.7 RR. if you feel you want something closer to 300rwhp, hold off on the cam and RR until you choose some heads and intake.

stock will be fine unless you do heads and intake.
