You might want to try Mod Max, Ed curtis, or Big Boy racing.

The stage 1 = 470
I think stage 2 and 3 = 600
Im debating on getting either stage 2 cams from HCI that pass smog.
Or Stage 1-3 cams from big boy
Or getting a cam from Sean Hyland Motorsports if i can ever get through to talk to a represenative to see which cam.

I would go with stage 1's or stock PI cams for your application. Whatever you do, do not let anyone talk you into Stage 2 or 3 cams (with your current application). Stage 2 and 3 cams are designed to pull to 7,000+ RPM and have too much duration/lift for a street 4.6. The only way I would recommend a stage 2 or 3 cam is if you ported the heads and run 15+ PSI of boost, or a lot of nitrous/stroker. Basically, to take advantage of a stage 2 or 3 you would need a built short block. For 100-150 shot of nitrous, or a nice strong NA setup and boost up to 15 PSI, you can't go wrong with stage 1 cams and ported cylinder heads. The ported cylinder heads will help you take advantage of the mid-range and upper power the stage 1's will give you. If you do decide to go with any company's stage 1's, I would recommend getting the heads worked, or eventually getting them done (if you can't do it now).
Our 4.6's are only 281 ci and putting stage 2 or 3 cams on the stock block would be like putting an 750 carb. big cam on a stock (old school) 289, not enough cubes to take advantage of the additional air flow.
Good luck with your decision!

Stage 1, stage 2, stage 3.
WTF does that mean?
Seriously, you can NOT make an educated decision on what camshaft to buy without the exact specs & knowing what you're reading.
Guaranteed the majority on this thread don't know SHIT about cams.
You want to know what cams to get? Call a Pro & ask....NOT the shops the sell 4.6 cams, but someone with an un-biased opinion who knows what the fuck they are talking about.
Like one of these guys: (None of them sell 4.6 cams.)
