i see you live in florida, where at?
ANTIVENOM here in florida is a great shop, and can do what you need for any application.generally for a cam install all you need is the cam and valve springs if you want to go cheap, but getting it done right, especially if you plan on running a turbo YOU SHOULD BUY valvesprings,locks,retainers,pushrods,timing-chain,ls6-ported oil pump,and all new GM gaskits.at ANTIVENOM there is a cam called called the elimnator 3, which put over 400 hp to the rear wheels.if you are going to run a blower setup, you might want a diffrent cam, it depends on you specific application, but generally if you run a FI cam in a N/A car your gains will be minimal, so let me konw...

You have a LOT of research and learning to do if you want to install a cam on your 95% stock car and then get an STS turbo in december.
Usually you want to get the supporting mods before getting a cam. When you get a cam do pushrods and valvesprings at the same time.
Depending on your situation, I'd recommend you save the money for upgrading weak links when the turbo goes on. Even stock power takes it's toll on a lot of components, let alone when you start modding.
Edit: Oh yeah,
This is external, it should be in internal.
