What cams would you get?
Mods are as follows:
J's whale ***** intake.
SMSP header 'toda style'.
Thermal cat back.
2.5" carsound cat.
VAFC.
Skunk2 cam gears.
Slight P1 auto tuning.
What I want from cams
1. reliability.
2. a bump in HP/TQ worth the cost of the cams.
3. reliability.
4. Compatible with stock R valvetrain but also a possible benefit with upgraded valvetrain/ECU.
5. reliability.
I've been looking at the Buddy Club spec III+ cams, and they are pretty ideal for my needs IMO. Wanted your opinions.

Sounds like all you're missing are cams. Buddy Club Spec 3's need upgraded valvetrain. May i suggest a JUN 2 intake cam? Its reliable, makes good power, decent price and isn't as wild as some of the other cams. Im not sure if its compatible with stock R valvetrain but Im sure the Toda A's would be fine.

Re: What cams would you get? (Willard)
I agree with Willard here, I too would love to open my engine up, but until I have to I am happy enough with the bolt ons I still can't afford 
However, if I were going to upgrade my cams, I would use Toda A's or Skunk 2 stage 2's.

Bling is resellable later, track events are not.

Even I got signed off by .RJ, so don't think your skills are up there
Brian
-who drives so slow on track anyone would sign him off so they could nap in a more comfortable location

Sounds to me like you want Toda A.
As for Buddy Club cams, take a look at the set that broke in half; there's a thread somewhere in All Motor.

Re: What cams would you get? (HypeR1004)
I also think the Toda A's would be your best bet. My friend loved them in his C5 and would never stop ranting about the midrange.

I agree. I've heard of some people hitting 200whp with stock cams.
