For the wiring I would go with speartch or wait4meperformance if you are not going to do it yourself.

I don`t really know about headers, I think the only company that makes them for the swap is schoenfields(SP?)

You will need to change the pan, and possibly still clearance the pan or crossmember.

I think a cam swap should give you 450+.

Check out this thread for lots of info. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ghlight=camino
