Cams w/o headers?

Is this okay to do? I know that I won't gain as much power, but would stage 2 cams w/o headers be okay to do? I don't have the money for headers and a new h pipe, so would there be anything wrong with doing cams without headers?

I dont see a problem as long as you upgrade your springs.

If you don't have money for headers & h-pipe, you don't have money for cams.

sad but true...
cams - $550
LTs - $380
Shorty mid pipe - $250

Yep, and that doesn't include installation, troubleshooting & dyno tune.

Assuming you mean you only have the $$ for one or the other, do LTs first. Cams later.

Yeah, that really isn't even a logical conclusion. I can raise the $1500 for cams, but I don't want to spend the extra $800 + for headers and installation. I'd rather do cams because the power gains are greater and they sound better.
