Need help choosing cam....

I am looking to get some more power out of my setup and need some help. I am mainly interested in Cam and intake. I have no clue as to what cam to get, but do know I would like a performer RPM to replace my existing intake. I need it to fit the bolt pattern of my heads I have. Any idea on cost of this and recommendation of cam and what I would need to install it would be appreciated.

That performer RPM cam is way to much for a mild type setup.

You'd be much better off finding a "smaller" cam for it

Something in the 212-218 intake duration would probalby work very well with that

Is this going to be a roller setup?

If so, I'd suggest a Comp XR264HR.
