    Choose any cam you want, Its all in the tune. My cousins senator has a pretty big cam, shaved heads, 4k stall, 4.11s makes 350rwkw. Drives it everyday without any issues. Ive driven it a fair few times and the only difference I find from stock is the SICK idle brrb brrb brrb lol and the car kinda rocks from side to side slightly.

    Small cams are for pussies!!!

    Just my 2c... BRANDS:- Comp CAMS, CRANE, ISKY, C.O.M.E(AUS), CROW, Camtech, Howards, Manley etc. etc. etc.... and the list goes on and on and on and on...

    Camshafts are a very personal choice that should meet your driving style, daily or weekend driver, performance over economy/durability and coupled with all the other mods can produce huge increase in grunt.

    No one will be able to give you a solid answer on your question without more details. It all comes down to what you want out of the car.

    talk to the company/person you choose to install it about your needs, most will be competent enough to give you what you need.
    ignorance is bliss.

    u have already got the 3.9s so you might as well use them to your advantage and go big and lumpy. Let the blue beast just scream

    thats easy just pick a cam that will also suit a supercharger .. i think with a supercharger you want more lift and less overlap (someone correct me if im wrong) ... ive got a .600" lift cam in my vx ss with 112deg sepperation it still sounds lumpy as f*ck and it will still be fine when i put a PD supercharger on it.
    If in doubt......FLOOR IT!!!

    310rwkw thats with cam 238/240 .605" 112deg (biggest lift i could fit, got less then 1mm clearance between valve and piston), oversized valves and heavly ported heads, VE 100mm maf intake... fuel consumption isnt as bad as i thought it would be i had a VP V6 when i was on my p's and it uses the same fuel as that thing haha

    thats the km's you'll probably get with a cam of that size.

    If picking a cam for a SC look for more duration and lift on the exhaust side compared to the intake as the air will be forced into the intake and you want it to get it out as fast as possible
