I was thinking staying n/a for a long while anyway. I want to put street cams in it. I mean, the cars came n/a, would they be worth more to keep them that way?
Along with the usual fuel systems, what other things need upgrading when putting on a s/c? New clutch? Beef up tranny?

Saw a '03-'04 stock s/c for sale on ebay. Says it comes with everything for $1200.
Suppose I get something like this, which is a way better power adder than cams for the same price, what else would I need.
I know I need a remap, is the stock fuel pump fine? What hp would I be looking at?

You'd be at 390 bhp with the basic M-112 swap. The thing on ebay does not come with everything, I saw that one too, you still need the alternator, and a few other things as well. Don't forget that your engine does not have forged internals so you're going to be stuck under 400 bhp unless you want to buy new rods/rings soon.
Hell if we're talking V8 swaps, why not swap in a stroked and forged 302 or 351 and put a Kenne Bell on top? Way cheaper and easier than an LS1 or LS2 swap and the 351 can hold more power than the 4.6 or 5.0.
