Consider the ported O2 housing as well - David, as usual, is dead-on.

The cam choices aren't that hard. The biggest cam you can run (HKS' biggest) without hurting the idle and driveability with what you are tuning with. That's the choices

hehe it seems hard for me lol maybe im just not sure what they do and feel and want the best in all worlds. and on that note what does lift do for you. i see that hks are 10.5mm lift and others have a lift up to 11.8mm is that better or what lol. and car is not built for every day it is full out race car. going the lines of auto x and road race car.

Idle the car higher if it doesnt idle well.... i idle mine at over 1k which seemed high at first but you get used to it very quickly... I dont care if you have square cams... it will idle well at 1.2k

I drive back roads a lot and run at 2k in 5th quite a bit (about 47mph). I have changed a bunch of stuff to bring up the bottom end torque though. I have Tomei 260 procams (high lift helps build big torque), a Tanabe 2.75" downpipe, Helix hard pipes, and White Rabbit (with TiAl and 10.5 hot side). I can hear the bunny starting to spin up at 2500rpm and am building 12psi by 2700rpm. I still have to pay attension or I will bounce off the limiter because it pulls hard all the way to the top.
No I don't have dyno charts yet, I have a UTEC and I'm going to wait a little longer in hopes they release the latest revision soon.

I run the HKS 280's in my car with the intake cam set at +2 and the exhaust cam on the stock gear @ 0...

I am also tuned on alky and AEM EMS

i have plenty of torque, and my torque falls off after 5300 RPM's, so below that I have plenty of torqe for daily driving, my numbers are in my sig

So, if I get the mildest cam HKS have, what would that be (numbers)? Do I also need to modify anything else? tks.

I have the HKS 280's and HKS cam gears, and I'm running a TurboTrix mail-in flash.

-Have them set at -3/-3 for right now
-No idling issues...no stalling to cutting off
-Idles like V8
-Top end power is incredible
