Default Cam choice, hmm...

Hi there, im going to be upping the power on my 2wd saff to circa 380bhp
using a fresh rebuild engine with standard internals, t34.48 and siemans injectors with a chip to suit.It is for 'fast road' application.
What I wonder is, do i swap my inlet cam?- Options could be bd10, ab07 or ??? bearing in mind no valve cut outs.
Or do I just stick with standard cams and be happy with it on an 'off the shelf' chip.
Any experience thots ideas welcomed.

AB07 cam, no valve cutouts required, idle's perfect, no loss of bottom end, and just keeps pulling at the top end.

Cossie 4i - this sounds like what im after exactly. So you recon it might help out top end when the 34.48 kinda runs outa puff?
Any other head mods required? double valve springs?

I'd be keeping the same, ie std cams, unless you are swapping turbo's later ?
