cams are a last mod to do, they wont see nearly as much gains if you are nearly stock... im not too familiar but all i know a cam is just to regulate the air:fuel ratio and gives you a deeper sound... sorry cant be of more help just saw 0 replies lol

A cam is a good thing to do. there are different types of cams. The kind you want depends on your mods. If you're getting a cam think about getting roller rockers and porting out your heads and intakes. In addition to buying the cam you'll also need new valve springs- $150 and retainers- $50.

depending on the size of the cam.

longtubes would be a good mod that would help the cam breath better.

if your an auto a nice stall would also help.

if u plan on modding that much id invest in a good set of heads, if not at least port you stock heads

a few things to think about
