Thinking about an MS3... I was thinking about dropping an ms3 cam into my car does any one know what would need to be done to the valvetrain,heads,etc... exactly on a stock engine? That way I can buy it all at once?
Will I like the cam?

yes you'll love the cam and it the car thats not sold thats in your sig the one u puttting it in then i would suggest valve springs and all that stuff with them and keep the rockers that sounds like thats it. anyway call up tsp they will help u out dont be affraid to ask.
Thought the same thing here.....pretty badass little cars.
But anyways....at minimum you will need valve springs w/ retainers and a tune. To get the FULL potential out of the car (i.e. not get beat by cars with smaller cams) you'll need gears (4.10's minimum), Headers, and a free flowing exhaust (dual setup, or a big y pipe with free flowing muffler or cut-out). Then....you'll have to worry about a stock clutch with the extra 60-70 hp or so with all those mods. And.....if you want any decent time at the track....a set of drag radials will be necessary.

Complete spring and retainer kit from TSP along with the cam...but like mentioned earlier call them up and they will help you every step of the way. Car is going to sound nasty once it's said and done.

My car was set up with the ms3, and I loved it. I was running slp long tubes with 3" true duals and an x-pipe. You definately want to have 4.10 gears, and ofcourse the tune. TSP will sell you everything you need for the swap. Cam, pushrods, springs, double roller timing chain, and gaskets. you might consider upgrading your stock oil pump to a ported one since its not that expensive.
My car with those mods and a fast 90 intake made over 420 rwhp with the stock heads.
