Also make sure you aren't buying cams for a N/A setup if you think you may just boost the car later. JR specifically says not to use cams with their supercharger (unless they are boost cams I am guessing). That way you don't end up dropping $1000 on cams, valves, headwork, etc just to have to revert back to stock or buy stuff for a boost setup later.

Same reason I haven't bought cams for my car... I've seen people with supercharger and cams (along with other mods) tuned to 260ish or so. Which is the perfect amount of HP and stuff for how I want my car setup!

It's recommended to replace your valve springs due to the higher lift of aftermarket cams. More lift = more pressure on the springs, which OEM isn't designed for. Do it the right way, or don't bother doing it at all. Would you rather float a valve and have to replace pistons down the road?

Easy Junior, he's looking for aftermarket not OEM.
