Everything depends upon what you want to do with the engine. If you plan on leaving it stock, then there will be certain options to entertain. If you plan on boost, there will be different options, and if you plan on an all motor build up, the will be even more options to consider. Do some research, set some goals, and then determine how any particular set of cams can help you reach your goals.
