ZZP but you'll need tuning and it's really not worth it.

hp to money ratio really isn't worth it because you also would want springs to take advantage of the extra power band.

^and do a whole valvetrain/timing set refresh with other bolt ons like injectors and intake and exhaust to take advantage of it

Exhaust and intake not injectors. But then to really rev it out safely you should get the ATI balancer and have neutral balance shafts.

For the money you'd spend it's much better to put on a SC kit for about $1200, mongo sells all the basics on eBay for $750

Comp cams is the only company that makes off the shelf cams for the L61 in the U.S. AFAIK
