i wouldnt put in a cam until you get some better heads. our cams are pretty good stock and i have read somewhere that someone was making around 350hp with a stock cam. just go to the junkyard and get some gt 40 heads, and buy some crane 1.7rr to give your stock cam more lift. if you shop right yo can get all that for around 400 bucks. and add 40hp in the process.

ya I would hold off on the cam too, its a fair bit of work to pull it and you aren't going to see that much improvment over the stock one.
