Default ls1 conversion ?????

Here go some questions. I recentely purchased a 99 camaro ls1 engine and trans combo with 30k. I am planning on putting it in a 90 f body style car. I am looking into speartech for all the wiring and programing. I was thinking of using johns cam and valve spring specs. I was very impressed with his times. This will be a daily driven car.

1. should I buy a new cam or should i just regrind the existing cam.

2. will the ls6 intake make that much of a difference in hp torque.

3.I have read that you can use the stock fuel regulator that came with the donor car, If so were would it be located on the car.

4.what type headers would work or clear in the f body.

any answers or comments are more than welcomed thanks

Speartech seam to know their stuff so you can't go wrong there...

1 buy a new cam... You can get any grind you want from most of the sponcers
2 depends on the cam and heads you have... Not that big of a change to a stock engine from what I hear. You see the real gain after H/C
3 if you used the stock regulator (ls1) it would have to be placed in the tank. You could also used the vette filter/regulator.
4 I don't know but I am sure someone will.
