Stock heads max out around 100hp so your 100/100 goal is a reach without headwork but 95/110 is very realistic with a cam swap along with proper exhaust, a/c and tune. I'm a fan of Andrews 57 in stage 1 103s.

The 57, 555, 777, really do require a bit more than stock compression to make them come alive but the 222, mr103 and 48h or even the 204 are probably gonna be your best bet. For stock that is....

I like my cam set, but the tman 555 torqster looks great as a 103 bolt in. Remember as a bolt in there are probably at least 5 cams that are right there Neck and neck. I went with s and s products. There is no magic cam, but there are a handful that work really well for your application. Ask you tuner what he likes the best After you narrow it down to 2 or 3. A great tune will make or break you.
