What cams people reccomend would be decided by what your looking for exactly. If your looking for something streetable, its going to be totally different than if your looking to use your car for racing or something.

He wants more power as a daily driver.

at OP:
Not worth it in my opinion, you won't gain a whole lot, plus in order to get the most out of it you have to have it tuned after installing the new cam. Too much $ for too little gain.

EDIT:
I'm talking about on YOUR motor, being stock and all...so plz pple don't quote me as saying cams are bad.....blah.....

D16Y8 huh? In that case you'll be dealing with just one cam, not two. If you're interested in going fast on that motor, you can put a lot of money into cams, compression and tuning to make it a little bit quicker or you can turbocharge it and be done with the little stuff.

Gude makes a good cam. Check it out. If you're decided on the all-motor route, go to that forum and look up some recipies for disaster

That was the key phrase in his reply. I strongly suggest this
