Yeah... what he said...
The zex is really the most suggested...
I had Gude "bullfrog" cams in my last car (93 sentra) and they were SICK... I ran them for over 50k miles with NO problems... I really loved them... but the regrind for the z6 (same engine as mine) is MORE expensive then the brand new zex cam... and from what I understand the zex is better too...
Also the zex is the same as some other brand cam (they're the one's who make it (the other company not zex).

i also hear many good things about the 53900. skunk put the cam out- but its like over 400 bucks. i bought the skunk stage 1, which according to skunk should be 8-10 hp gain. the 53900 is like 10-15 from what ive hear. go with the zex, if my skunk turns out to be shitty im gonna get the 53900

Re: (Eg692Si)
The zex cam is on back order. I personally bought the zex 53900 off of a member here on h-t and i love it, the car pulls ALOT harder on top end now, and it hasnt even been tuned and i havent touched the cam gear. So if u can find one here on h-t then id say get teh zex 53900, the skunk 2 is way to expensive!

get the zex 59300 or the stage 2 crower cam 
If you have the money get the valve springs upgrade so you can rev higher.

if anyone is intrested the sooner u buy i might lower the price A LITTLE- JUST A LITTLE, i want all this crap out of my room, its taking up space
