Default 1999 Magnum 318 cam

I have a question that may sound silly, but here it goes. Is the stock cam 1999 Magnum 318 5.2L better than the aftermarket cams?

Yes and No.

stock cam is good for keeping the engine stock and running... but an aftermarket one or a mopar performance one would be better overall as long as you have the mods to support it (roller rockers if needed, intake, exhaust, what not)

I do have some mods, Roller rockers, and the pistons are .030 over. I also have a K&N drop in kit, MSD ignition box/coil/wires, Hyper programer, JBA headers, cat back exhaust. I just want a fast street truck. What kind of cam do you reccomend? With a biger I also need better springs , right?
