Good call. He has an '88 listed in his profile, so if it's not a california car, or not converted, it's SD.
With SD from what I understand, the computers don't tolerate much in the way of cams. Many people do have good luck running e-cams with the SD computers though.
Paul, with an e-cam or TF stage 1, you will notice better performance from about 3500 rpm on up, it will pull harder up past 5,500 rpm. You will lose a bit of performance below 1500 rpm though; in my case, I can't light up street tires with the flick of my right foot off-idle like I could with my old stock cammed '89 with 3.55's and a 5-speed. The stock cammed '89 was a much funner car to drive on the street, and would likely run right with my notch in the 1/4 given that each had the performer or cobra intake.
If you think you will be getting heads in the near future, then I would probably just go ahead and do the cam, but pay close attention to what people recommend for speed density.
