guiguilandry is on a distinguished road
look on zzperformance, the best cam ever is the xpz but you need stronger lifter and pushrods (they offer them in the kit) it cost a good chunk but it's definately worth it...
but on a s/c engine I would not start with the cam...
First get their stage1 or 2 kit.
this will give you the best bang for the buck...
it's pretty impressive what an unrestricted exhaust, a 3,4 pulley and a colder t-stat, a cold air intake and a little tune can do on this engine... (read easy 60 hp gains)

next would be headers then cam...
if you want more, smaller pulley and intercooler...


on my car before it got keyed, I had ported head and intake headers, custom exhaust, CAI, 78mm throttle body 3,0 in pulley and meth injection
engine was balanced to 10 000rpm, balancer shaft is removed block has ben rehoned, new rings..
at that point I was limited by 3 factors, the m90 blower,no intercooling and no cam...

next winter I'll install my mp112 blower with the intercooler, and I'll remove the meth injection, I'll install a zex small nitrous kit (35-55-75)hp... and the xpz cam package...
I'll rebuild the engine with forged pistons and rods too just to be safe, because stock 3800 have been pushed to 800-900hp...
