Default new cam?

Was thinkin of goin with a new cam, possibly an F303, my block/heads are stock, so if i did the swap, would i need to adjust the rocker arms at all or just take em off and re-torque them? I know i would need new push-rods, wut bout lifters? anything else i'd need to do, thanks for all/any help

dont waste your time doing a crappy cam with stock heads and intake.

if you are going to do a swap do an HCI swap...in that order. heads/cam/intake

doing just that crappy cam you suggested, or even a good cam on stock heads and intake, you will see hardly any change if any at all, even some people have suffered a small loss due to a cam swap on stock top end set up.
