Default cams cams cams! which ones?

So what cams are everyone running? I need to plan ahead on the type I want and seeing as I have no education on this subject excluding friends telling me to get what they have, without reason.

info:
GSR motor
I want small cams..? Because they give low end power right? I believe so.
EF

if anyone needs more information to answer the question... just ask!

thanks.

p.s. right now i don't care how much it costs just throw it out there

i've heard good things about the ctr and skunk2 stage1+2 cams? any experience with either?

The cams you choose should be based on the mods you have.

Give us an idea of what the current status of the build is, what you plan on doing in the future as well as an idea of what your horsepower goal is and we can make a recommendation.

Best thing for increased torque(while staying n/a) is increasing displacement.
For the cost of a set of cams with valvetrain, you could get a b20 block and put your gsr head on it.

built gsr here. motor works well with the jun 3's i have in them. tons of midrange, pretty good top end with plenty of low end torque to get you around town. modified valvetrain obviously. i've played around with going bigger but they suit me just fine.
