Unless there is a lobe missing off your existing camshaft,changing it will do little but lighten your wallet without any other mods to complement it.

Does your car have a ls engine or is it the original engine? Ls engines are very easy to do a cam swap but a earlier small block requires removing the intake and distributor.

In addition to the counsel above, almost all after market cam swaps need replacement valve springs to take full advantage of the camshaft change.
