if you go with an upgraded valve train, then get the skunk2 stage 2's, blox type b's, etc. If you don't upgrade, then get itr/ctr cams.

Re: which cam for setup (dc4teg95)
When I dynoed with my skunk2 stg1 cams, the tuner said with the agressive head work I have done the engine wants a more agressive cam. Higher compression NA set ups will be better with a more agressive cam. 11.5:1 compression ratio will work nicely with a set of skunk2 stg2 cams. It all depends what your looking for. If your going to step up to a more agressive cam, then your going to need to upgrade your valve train to handle it. springs/retainers at least.
