That is a tried and true combo. That is said to be the best off the self cam for stock heads. The only thing you will need to ad to the list is a new timing set.

That is the exact same set up I have and I LOVE it!

As stated, a new timing set is a good idea.

Are you M6 or A4?

If A4 you will benefit a lot from a 3000+ stall and 3.73 gears.
If M6, 4.10's will make a big difference.

Haven't dyno'd it yet but is "should" make ~350rwhp through a T56.

Comp Cam (CC503) $303
Comp 7/16" NSA Pro Mags $290
ARP 7/16" rocker arm studs $40
Trickflow guideplates $16
Trickflow 7.2" chromemoly pushrods $87
Crane 10308 dual valve spring kit $180

That's what I have. The Comp 26918's are a little for for the springs locks and retainers.

GM replacement timing set will do you fine.

'93-'97 crank sprocket: 10128346
'93-'94 cam sprocket: 10128349
'95-'97 cam sprocket: 10206039
chain: 10128485

Yank, Vig, or Edge stalls are the brands I would get. 3000+ stall rating.

I have seen several people recommend the Yank SS3600.
Add 3.73 gears to the stall and cam and your car will be a completely different car...
