If you just want some lope, put a small hole in one of your vaccuum lines. You are going to get lots of people tell you to get the TFS 1. So go buy it.

I do not think you are going to get anything to work larger than a E303 or B303 cam with 1.7RR, but as always, you need to check clearance with clay, it inexpensive and saves $1000's in engine damage. Don't get in a hurry.

+1 for the TFS Stage 1 w/ 1.6 RR.

Its cheap and good, just the way I like it.

for a mild build I like the b-303 with 1.7s. B has the "lopey" idle you want.
