At this stage I would leave the stock cam - unless you take it to a good turner and he advises that a cam up garade is nesessary. In my experience the minor gain - with stock heads is really not worth investment. Been there!

The parts advisor guy (?) at my dealer said I would only get a 5% or so bump with cams after a stage one.

You can actually get 10-15 hp and torque with cams only. I wouldn't say that's a minor gain. Of course head work, pistons etc. Will get you more, but cams are a good upgrade on their own.
