The cam theory article has some good basic information on cams, and under the engine section the chosing a cam article is pretty at advising whitch cam to get.

I can say hey go out buy brand X part number Y, but it might not be the right one for your setup. A cam swap is something you reallly have to think about and plan for.

Hope this helped.
