some of those questions you can anwser yourself really...if you want to save yourself $1000+ and can live with a rough idle go cam only and make decent power...if youve got the extra bucks you can go with heads/cam and make the same power with a better idle and driveability...there are hundreds of combos that work id really do a search, but first choose if you want a cam only or heads/cam car first for yourself just remember you can make big power either way just easier if you get heads and it can become less streetable real quick with a huge cam but no head work.

I'm running the mods in my sig and it is very streetable, idle is set to 850rpm's and runs great. Just keep in mind you WILL need tuning for everything to work properly, and I would highly recommend some kind of tuning right off the bat because my car would run extremely hot with the factory fan settings. The combo you are looking at will be very streetable.
