Texas speed sells everything you need in a kit. I've used their kit to swap around 5 cars (including my own), its a great deal. Highly recommend the 231/236.

You'll need headers to go with a cam kit, or the car wont perform.

I would reccomend a CAI and long tubes and an axle-back set up to get the most out of your cam. Save your money and port your stock intake I don't think the FAST is really worth the cash to hp gain in a cam only set up.
