I would suggest maybe a Crane or comp cams cam thats split duration and made for 1.7 RR, that way you won't have to worry about too much lift. The stock cam is good, and with 1.7's can make you fly, but with heads and intake, you might as well put something in that'll take advantage of the mods you've done. I've been in a car with the TFS #1 cam and a similar combo, and in my opinion is a better choice than the E cam, but with 1.7s you'll have to give some more thought about piston to valve clearance.

Compression should be around 9.5:1 to 10:1.
