Default cam selection

my setup
81.75mm p73's b18c
polished crank,

gsr head shaved with 3 angle valve job with brian crower springs with tita retainer kit, new guides
ferrera flat top stock diameter valves
sk2 intakemani with 68mm TB
car will be tuned on crome.
header is undecided right now
it will be tuned on a open header through a e cut out

My issue is this i got no clue what cam to use, i was leaning towards brian crower cams seeing i got the spring kit ,but i have been reading about a few issues people have been having with them.
what cam would be ideal for my setup

I know some people like certain companies

but i would like to know why did you go with what ever cam company you chose.

please if you have input please validate it with your reason for your pick,

don't just post sk2 stge 2 or pro 1, id like to know what to go with,
Thank you in advance

Just a question, have you looked through the dyno threads including the 1.8L dyno thread to see what types of cams people were running and their results? That's probably the easiest and best place to start your quest. There aren't that many cams to choose from really when it comes to best performance in a 1.8L so the dyno threads can narrow them down.

s2s2's or pro1's. anything bigger will not allow for opitum power.
I'd go on a limb and even say your motor might like BCIII+

If its a daily driver, I would give serious consideration to the BC3+. Nice mid-range on them and decent top end. There are several dynos posted with them in builds similar to yours.
