I suggest you search this board for "camshaft" and most especially read the post by John Vanlandingham. However, try to understand that you cannot just put in a hot cam (for example) and expect to get a big boost from that alone. It is likely to run worse unless you do the other stuff that goes with it. Changing the cam alone without changing the induction, exhaust, ignition, valves, yadayada, will disappoint you. You also need to beef up your transmission to take the strain, and then beef up your brakes and suspension to match, etcetcyadayada. It is futile to invest in one performance part and think you are on the road to a performance vehicle. All the pieces have to work together as a whole and any change made in one area affects all the others. If the money is not here you are not going to fly.
Jack is one of the experts here and can help you fly. No free lunch though. Standard V4 mods have been well-thought and the information available for a long time. Finding the parts may be a little harder.
Sorry to rain on your parade.
