stock cams are good. you would have to get headers, heads, and an intake and MAF for it to amount to anything.

I would not only do a cam swap but I'd refresh the top end like I did, it's worth a few ponies also. New cam obviously, new springs are a MUST, new lifters, gaskets, timing chain and gears. Don't forget some other small things, assembly lube, tools, RTV (gasket sealant), oil, oil filter, antifreeze, elbow grease etc.

What mods? On stock heads, a cam is not worth it. Spend your $ somewhere else... MAF, TB, Full exhaust, etc. will give you more power if you haven't done those mods yet.
