Default Cams and me

I was wondering how much cams would help me out. I LOVE the cam idle. But with the mods in my sig would getting cams be a waste? I know nothing about cams... thus is why im asking

If you are going to do cams, you might as well do intake and heads with it if you want the most power out of an aggressivecam like you have described.

for sure. Cams to me seem like such a hard decision honestly. cams lets say 600 after tax and can you put them in yourself?? i dunno but it would be pricey if not, right?Now you want to get full use of them so what you buy headers right? atleast 500. can you put them in yourself? i unno if not lets say500 bucks, dang! Lets by some more supporting mods! intake midpipe yada yada yada..... wow i should have bought a super charger
