Go with VT Stage 1 n/a cams, you don't have to replace the valve springs. They give real good power all the way to 6200+ depending on your setup. I love mine!!!

you would want to move to a 4.10 or 4.30 gear with either set of cams and emissions testing are non existent here in FL. stage2's work great with stock heads

But I think VT recommends installing LT headers when running the stage 2s... just something to consider
