All "regular" split port cams are the same. (2.5L or 3L) The only different split port cams is the SVT set.

All oval port cams are the same.

The Mazda 6 exhaust cam is usable.

All the above specs are known. All cams have the same lift.

Other then that there is CAT cams. They have a nice selection of cam profiles. The main issue with them is they don't come with cam gears.
If I were to pick a set of CAT cams I would go with the Stage 3. If mixed then Stage 3 Intake and Stage 2 exhaust. Specs are on their site.

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
