Question stock auto going for cam

what do i need to install a comp 216 / 220 .525 / .532 114 LSA do i need valve springs, pushrods or anything else ,and Tuning does not make sense to me with such a small cam do i really need it and what do i need in Tuning? is it a higher idle or other stuff
and on a bone stock AUTO car just with LTs and a dual free flowing exhaust which cam would you say i go for 216 / 220 .525 / .532 114 LSA or 218 / 224 .527 / .534 114 LSA or 220/220 .553/.553 114 LSA will most be mostly used for 1/4 -1/2 mile races i don't have that much cash so i need to get the one with the least needed parts

out of those i'd go with tr220 114 or step up to the tr224 114. for any cam you'll need new springs bare minimum. comps 918's or the manley kit will work fine. pushrods are optional. as far as tuning you dont need a full dyno tune but you'll want to tune to adjust for the idle, rev limiter, delete codes, and what not.

but i'd get a new TC before i got a cam 3200-3600 range.
