I'm Awesome
If I have it apart, I always put in the biggest cam my budget will allow. The camshafts themselves are always pretty much the same price, no matter if you're getting a stock-size cam or a race-only cam. Your expense is in what other mods the cam requires. Going to 1.6 rockers can affect pushrod geometry. Since the cams are the same price from mild to wild, I prefer to use 1.5 rockers and a bigger cam so I don't have to worry about drilling out pushrod holes. Just doing 1.6s? Not worth it. The dyno tests I've seen put it around 5-10 hp gain.
That's kinda' what I was thinking, too.
