With 200k+miles, I'd save my $$$ towards replacing the motor first before adding cams or any other type of engine upgrades. IMHO adding mods to an engine with such high mileage is only going to end up causing your rings, pistons, rods and so on to wear out that much quicker from the additional stress you'll be putting on it. Anyhow, just my opinion
