I did all of mine at one time but my car couldn't be more driveable. Even with an aluminum flywheel, these cams (Crane) are awesome. I still get 17/24 mpg and you can't beat that with a stick 
They are a one off grind blower style cam, but would be similar to a stage 2 or 3 comp.
EDIT: I'm also running lockouts as limiters weren't made when I built the car. If your considering either I think the limiters are the way to go!
This is with my break in tune, I didn't get any sheets with my new tune which is 385/387

ok i have the cams that you are talking about the XFI NSR Stage II from Brenspeed... I did have LTs already when i got them on (Well i had them put on at the same time...) But if you estimate that I should have gotten ~290-300rwhp with just the LTs, High Flow X, and CAI, then I got between 25-35rwhp with the cam.
i would not reccomend the brenspeed tune with the cam, get it dyno'd, those are always going to be more efficient... I got my dyno, cam, headers, X, header gaskets, camshaft bolts(2), and the install for all for a grand total of $1869 pretty good for 75rwhp
and heres a link to my idle

Wow 1 1/2 hours to do long tubes. I had my friend do mine at his shop and it took about 4 hours and he has done several short tube and long tubes. I was there helping and I see no way of doing long tubes in that amount of time. I would pay money to see that. I don't have a print out to scan and post but you can call Dyno Tune in Virginia,ask for Brent. He will tell you that with cai,dyno tune,pullies,long tube,and cams you will be at @340 to 350 rwhp. If you run no cats you might see higher numbers but will suffer a torque loss in the lower rpm range.
We wanna hear that sweet lope.

point being, though, cams make a huge difference but don't affect the every day driveability of the car. The day the car becomes a hassle to drive is the day I'll sell it.Here's a sound clip, skip to about half way if your impatient.

Not yet LOL but I will soon. I'm calling BULL#&^# on the long tube headers being installed in 1 1/2 hours. Yes I can see two working on it and having it done in @3 or 4 hours at the least. Don't you know twos company and threes a crowd.
