It depends on what cam you're looking at. I got a great deal on a Trickflow cam that was designed around my Trickflow heads from Summit racing.

It all depends on what you're looking for and that's why I suggested talking to a tuner. If you want peak HP numbers you go with a larger cam. The tradeoff with that is you normaly don't gain any power till after 3500rpms. Many of the smaller cams hit their powerband right away. So it depends, do you want high Hp numbers, 1/4 mile car, autocross car, or just more power for the streets. I would call and talk to a tuner and discuss what you like and dislike and they will point you in the right direction.
