Not too sure if you ended making a decisions on cams.
When considering an upgrade, always take account who tunes your car. Parts are only good as a tuner can make them shine at times.
If you're on a budget, Cosworth cams are the way to go. No need to upgrade springs and spent another 1k on labor and parts.
If you want to keep things simple, reliable an make great power Cosworth would be a great additional to your mod list.
If you have a bit more money, I would go with a BBK + cams. You will see a huge jump I'm power vs stock level.
Of course tuning is the key. GL with your decision.

Cams will shift the powerband to the right and do the exact thing you do not want. They'll compromise low-end performance in lieu of gains toward the top of the revband. Consider a good tune. Good luck.

Hi Goku,FJF and Mikami, sounds like stock cams are here to stay in my X. I will be taking a drive on one of my buddy's car this weekend for first hand (or Butt) Feel.. Cheers!
