Headers and pulley will get you to about the power of a type s. Cams should be one of the last things you do

There is much more to it than the cams. Adding just those won't do much.

^You're going with a 3.7 aren't you? Based on that and your 6spd, I think you'd be safe with the stage 2. These cams are made to be used in engines as small as 3.0, so with your increased displacement, you won't lose as much vacuum at idle or low end driveability. The other argument would be that with a daily driver, you might be happier with the low end torque of the stage 1.

Yea i pulled apart the 3.5 i built and have started on the 3.7 But what im worried about is the much lighter rotating mass im going to have (roughly 25lbs lighter) and daily driveability. I guess i could always buy them and if i dont like them sell them

Calm your fears brother, no vacuum issues especially on a stage 2 cam. Now on a stage 3, perhaps...but they likely wouldnt even grind those unless you had high compression
