Default Cams question.

I do not know much, at all, about cams but i'm building my Z for autocross and the occasional track day (rarely do that), was stock aside from intake/exhaust for a while and am spending some money this weekend on the following:

Motordyne 5/16 spacer
3.7 FD
Cams/Springs
Flash to raise rev limit to 7200

Car is 03 5AT

My question is I was thinking of buying GTM cams N/A cams, going to go with a Vortech this summer, so I was wondering which stage cams should I get with autocross and S/C in mind? Any other recommendations for cams from other companies?

Like I said I know literally nothing about cams and have searched and seen people suggest Stage 2 cams, if I get GTM, but that was mostly people talking about track didn't see any mention of what you should do for autocross. The threads I could find were also either N/A (with no plans for S/C) or cams for a Turbo.

Is there any supporting mods I should consider?

yep.. from what i hear theres in intake resonance issue ( dont ask i have no clue personally but read it here just the same) that makes cams for NA application "far" different than for a turbo application.
So cams now NA aint the same as what youd want later on FI... so back to everyone elses advice.. where ur at in mods.. leave em alone... very expensive install as well btw.
-cams
+Suspension.
+Good tires. haha.
