Smile Quick question about cams

Hi,
First off I would like to introduce myself, my name is Josh and I own Joh's I-Studio. It is a art studio that specializes in sculpture work, around mid to late summer the studio will be producing a unique wide bodykit for the Nissan 240sx. The kit itself will take concept cues from the YF22 Raptor and the new Dodge Viper. The concept is in full swing, the plans are being finalized within the week, and once avalible I will post them for the community to see. I will also post construction photos for the car itself.

Now for my question, I own a '95 240sx se, with the KA series motor. I have developed a grinding noise from my left cam. I was wondering since I will be replacing cams and such if I should upgrade to a Jim Wolf set or Rdm Racing, I have also heard of some drivers going to '91 240sx cams.
My future plans for upgrades include Cold-air intake, new pulleys and a new exhuast system (partly for the wide body). I'm not looking for super performance, afterall, it is my daily driver.

If you have any comments or have delt with the rdm or jim wolf, please respond.

Thanks,
Joh
