Cpi camshaft for low rpm

Well i need to pick you guys brain once again. I have a "w" cpi engine going in my 4 runner, and was wondering if the cpi cam is really what i want. I understand that the cpi camshaft will make more power, but at what rpm. I'm thinking my engine will never see much over 3500. I have a banlance shaft tbi engine with a roller in it and was wondering if it would be better suited for the rpm range i plan on running at. The main reason i'm asking this is the cpi cam is messed up, looks like a chip flaked off one lobe. So should i be looking for another cpi cam, or go the tbi cam? By the way i'm switching to tbi for simplicity.

Since you will be running tbi for simplicity and you won't be running over 3500 rpm's go with the tbi cam... I don't think you would notice the difference anyway assuming they were both stock cams.

Looks like i'll be going with the TBI cam for know. However i have yet to start this project due to the fact i still have my 22r. Need to sell it to get some cash flow.
