It depends on what your looking for. Best bang for the buck, H.O. cams. If you are using an SCT Tuner or are tuned by a SCT tuner go with the 212 or 212x. If you are going to run boost, i.e. turbo or supercharger go with 224 grind cams.

H.O. Cams and 206 are pretty good, but you won't see a difference in the 206 cams without a cam tune.

They have the cam card info on the 206 cams. If you call them, they make make any grind to fit your application.

ok...if you spend the money for cams and a tuner, don't you still have to find someone with a dyno to tune it...$$$$?

You don't have to use a dyno to tune. SCT tuners make custom tunes based off A/F ratio, RPMs, Boost and Gear Shifts.

Yes, HO and 206 cams will work with Superchips. 212 and bigger require a custom tune.
