eyepop  Crower/Comp/Skunk 2 Cams?

Im rebuilding my engine and plan to keep it N/A until I get enough money for a turbo. I've been looking at a lot of different cams for my ej8..I wanna go with a cam that will give me a noticable amount of power. I think i want to go with the Crower Stg. 2. My current engine set-up includes an aem sri with an K&N filter, accel ferro wires, iridium plugs, and a B&M sort throw shifter. Any recommendations on the cam?

I'm rockin' a stage 2 crower and springs/retainers. I'm tuned with Crome and managed 125 whp.

I'd wait for a cam
If your saving for turbo I would buy a turbo cam
Because if you buy a turbo cam with no turbo
or a non turbo cam then turbo
you might run into problems down the road
Save for the turbo and piece together a really bomb kit
Maybe buy a new clutch so your tranny can hold the torque the turbo makes
Stay with the stock flywheel also

^^^
What he said in preparation for boost is perfect.

Although....if you insist on a cam, get a Crower Stage2 and the Crower recommended valve springs and retainers with it. Then get it dyno tuned by a pro. This is the best mild street cam for the d IMO by far. As far as keeping this cam when you go turbo. No......sell it and buy a Crower turbo cam.
