With cams it really depends on where you want your power band to be. Once you know that then people can start to recommend cams for you.

Also, just cams won't give you a huge power gain on these motors. The heads are very restrictive. For the best results I would recommend going with cams and heads at the same time. Heads vary from 1,200 to 2,500 depending on what brand you go with. Cams are normally 500-600.

I have no clue what it would cost to have them installed. But one thing to keep in mind is after you do all of this you WILL need to get the car tuned. That can be anywhere from 200-1,000 depending on dyno time, and how much the dyno tuner charges.

Installation is gonna kill ya. look at another 500-600 for the cam installation alone. I have no idea what Heads will cost ya. But for the cheaper route... the mongoose vortech supercharger kit will give u more horses and be cheaper... just a suggetions. I plan on saving up for the mongoose kit myself.
