well i was looking into getting a cam.. and the installation looked like it would be about 500$ is it possible to do it myself? and about my heads i asked to do it and i was quoted 600$... is that also to much or what? also if i wanted to get a stage two roller cam do i need to change my lifters or would it work w/ my stock lifters?

I am all for doing stuff myself for the $$ savings and the satisfaction of doing it myself but I gotta tell you that unless you are a mechanic or have one as a best friend I personally would not call a cam job a DIY thing.

Too much to go wrong if not done properly. 2 big things are degreeing them properly and avoiding PTV (piston to valve)contact.

do not do this yourself. there is a reason mechanics charge a lot for this, because it is hard to do. you will spend tons of time and end up mad and frustrated.

what cams are you wanting to go with

some kind of stage II.. not sure yet.. would i need to get lifters too??

you mean springs right?
You will need new springs for a stage II cam and a tune afterwards.
