What kind of cam would be best for my stock heads. Dont want to have to do new valves/ springs etc.. Would there be any problems with running a comp cam or thumper with stock valves, heads, springs etc.?

Maybe a good idea to contact the places that offer 3V cams and they can find a set for your specifications. The FRPP Hot Rods will work for you but there are other choices as well.

How well do the stock heads flow? I heard many say that they flow great and that a cam will work well with stock heads. Then again, some say that a cam without head work done is pointless. At this point i want to put a cam in, and one day when i get teh cash, have my heads done. Would a cam with my stock heads be pointless?

want it for fun, not a daily driver as I have company veh. No plans of FI, Just want more power to play around.
