Best cam for a bone stock 88 350 TPI?

I dont want to change anything other than the cam can anyone recommend one to me? I appreciate that lift is limited without further mods to the head.
If you recommend a cam will it make a big difference to the performance? Will I think "wow that was worth all the work and cost of shipping it to the UK " or should I keep the stock cam and be satisfied with what I have.
Please post BHP figures if available.

Thanks for your time

Simon

I think it depends on what you expect out of it before you can say was it worth it. I guess my cam would be good but, it is said on here to be too much lift for stock springs but, SLP claims its ok.(slp cam 51002) 206/212 dur. @.050", .480/.487 lift. I was also told on here that it is really a crane cam boxed for slp? well you may want to see if this is true or at least find a similar crane cam it would be a lot cheaper.

Thanks for the recomendation. It appears a stock engine can handle a lift of .480 so I'll see what I can find up to that lift.

Cheers
