You'll want to upgrade your springs to a stiffer set and upgrade the rockers with Comp's trunion upgrade kit. Possibly lifters, ported & polished pump, and a chain as well since you'll be opening it up anyways. Consider new injectors for the flow.

When you said choose what size cam I want,I would have no idea.i just want a basic kit like you said but I don't know what size cam to get if you could tell me.
I just want my car to be pretty loud and be anywhere from 300-350 FWHP.I only want to spend $1000-1500 on parts.
Mods I have don't right now are a CAI cold air intake,custom cat back exhaust res delete with no cats,and a ECM/TCM tune by vector motorsports.
It's my daily driver so I don't want nothing crazy to where it could blow up lol.
