Well you might wanna do a bit of research. These cars have only one cam. What are your goals? All motor, all motor + spray, blower/turbo? Rear end gears?

a 224/224 114lsa will make good power and pass smog. As mentioned above, do some research as there are many factors that come into play when choosing a cam.
