Imo 204, are you dead set on se cams? In a different thread you mentioned not shifting past 4800. Is that the case. What cams have you looked at and ruled out.

Default Cams

I'm deciding to stay with se cams cuz my dealership will warranty them and will not warranty other manufacturers . So with that bein said, I've canceled out the woods 222 and andrews. 57. So it's either the 204 or the. 254

The 204 but with a set of 1.725 ratio rockers to increase lift. You will need a good tune; the 204 can be a tuning challenge for an amateur. If the dealer will tune, don't let them load a map, tweak the map and call it good; you need a good full on tune by someone that knows what they are doing and dealers don't have a good track record when it comes to tuning.
