So you're getting a cam and want to know of you shlould do heads or nitrous also? I'd personally do heads because of the "power all the time" factor. You can always add both.

If you get a cam you NEED springs. All of the above will decrease your gas mileage. Mostly when you get on it though.

Nitrous will give you more power over the heads but remember that it is not street legal (I know most people dont care) and you also have to fill that bottle, which over time could add up to the cost of a set of heads. H/C IMO is the way to go! Can always throw a shot on later if you want even more power!
