Anyone with aftermarket 5sfe cams?, Reliable? Options

Well I've been looking at bumping up the power in my 5sfe just for the sake of having a little more oomf on the highway and such, don't need a street machine or anything. I was going to do a full exhaust/intake, and adjust timing and such but can't do anything with it on a 99, and with the cams geared together you can't really do much with them to change overlap or anything. I found the Webcams 294 setup to be rated pretty well for a mild cam, puts power where it needs to be, etc. I just don't want to bother with a piggyback or standalone with this car, after tuning my WRX that way it just isn't worth it without all the performance to go with it.

Any other suggestions on cams? Maybe ones that are better/cheaper (cheaper is good lol) or a shop that will weld and re-grind my stock cams for a good deal?

I would probably say it'll be similar to a timing belt job since you have to take it off (or at least partially off) to get them out, plus maybe an hour to shim the valves. I think if I were to charge someone to put in reground cams I'd go with about 5hrs, the cost will depend on the hourly rate your mechanic charges. An there will be at least two days down time as you have to get the cams in and measure the clearances before ordering the correct size shims.
