you have to get more then 1, and you should degree any set you install.

Default RE: cam

With the questions your asking you have absolulty no business trying to do a cam swap. It is involved and complicated, espcially if you do not have previous modular motor experence.

Go to a shop to get them installed, unless nothing else is done to your car. If you are just starting off, get some boltons first (gears, exhaust).

Edit; You can't just mess with/change one cam. The SOHC design has one cam per cylinder bank... having one cam degreed different or different profiles would simply not work.
