If you get there you will have been one very determined individual.

you can make 10-20 whp swapping from OEM cams up to a stage 1 cam or greater on a built motor.
can you imagine how much money you'd have to spend to get 10-20hp without a cam change? It definately major motorwork there

lol had a feeling 
i actually had a set of s2 pro 2s lined up for the build but hadda sell em cuz of $ issues 
i really wish i hadnt cuz now im about to run a an almost 12-1 compression setup with a built head and gsr cams kinda a waste of the pistons and valvetrain i bought for now but on the bright side atleast now when i get another set of pro2s ill be ready to go

everyone keeps saying this crap.
you can run them on like 11.5:1. they will make power...will they make th emost they can? no...but they will make more than alot of other cams.

OEM cams on a 12:1 compression ratio is dangerous man. Those cams don't have enough overlap to vent cyl pressure. while it'll run, do't be surprised if you have major detonation issues. you really want something to help bring the dynamic comrpession down to a more drivable level, while making more power in the process
