So far my car has

GT40E intake
24 lb/hr injectors
3.73s
pulleys
long tubes headers
catless H
flows
73mm MAF
70mm TB
AFPR
mega bite rear suspension
granatelli uppers
Al driveshaft
Electric fan
180 stat
MSD wires and coil

AFR 165s are on the way, I need to choose a good cam...

A lot of people tell me they like the trickflow stage 1 cam matched with the 165s.

But my friend says that I should get a comp cams grind because they are more specialized and can get more power out of the car.

Comp cams = $350
Trickflow = $130

I really dont feel like buying a cam for $220 more. Even if it nets me 5HP more thats still a lot of money that I dont have. But maybe there is more to it, who has experience with this?

If you're worried about price, just get the Trick Flow. If you're looking for a bit more power, look into the Comp XE270HR.
