So although the cams cost X. By the time you tune and properly modify the internal to rev to 9k and make the added power with cams, its probably in the 15k territory. May as well supercharge the thing! redline of 9k with a racing cam would be cool. Would provide for a brutal idle!

You pretty much nailed it. You won't have to go that high, but at 9krpm where the car is making max power at 8800rpm and a set of 4.10 gears...wow this car would rock.
