I am kind of wanting to put in a cam now, so i would like some peoples ideas and opinions on what would be a good cam choice
I would like something that i can keep stock heads and maybe stronger springs, but no ported heads they run WAY too much money for what they would be worth to me.
I like the sound of the NIC cam at idle but i heard they are hard to tune, and they have not very good low end power.
so any sugestions ??

XP, VS, or NIC.  I really want to go NIC, just not sure if I'm willing to take the hit in streetability. Maybe when I have a different daily driver.

Is there a cam you can buy now and install. And later if you do a Top Swap don't have to worry bout changing

I went with 105# springs, but I guess there was a run of them that is breaking (and I have them). I'm not sure if the new ones are fixed, but you could run the 90# springs or the new 110# springs.
