Now my next mod I wanted to do a cam. I have an ls6 cam already but decided to grow a pair and get something worth while. I have had recomendations on getting the big ***** thumper. (im not worried about smog, i like going to the track, i want to turn heads but i do want something i can drive to work everyonce in a while) I want to make the process as easy and pain free as possible. (have all my parts, install, tune, have a nice day) So i would like to buy a kit with EVERYTHING i will need for the swap and didnt know if there was such a kit. If you know of one that would be much appreciated. if not what is everything i will need for the swap from some one that has done it. Including valve turrain, gaskets, bolts, anything and everything will be helpful thanks.

^ to be honest bro idk as much as i should. iv been resurching like crazy but it just seems like ive been going in circles. up there is everything i have done. I dont have alot of money but i am deployed right now and wanting to order parts for my return home. I want my car to have a nice lope with as much performance as possible. (without having to build a new car) trying to keep it under 1200ish $. and ik how projects are. ill buy something then in the middle of it ill have to buy more and more. i dont want that. i want to have everything waiting when i get home.

could one of you possibly give me a list of everything i need and where to get it. im more going for that lope. i want to keep stock heads and torque converter if possible. maybe just do a mild cam then later if needed i can convince my boss (wife) that i need a torque converter.

If you are wanting to keep the stock heads, then stop looking at the big ***** thumpr cam. As far as the converter goes, the biggest cam I would run is the stock cam or maybe the ls6 cam.
Here's mine BTW.

This.
There are cheaper non-billet ones out there but for your application you'll probably want a billet one. Plus it's better to just get it off the bat than get a cheaper one and have to buy a better one later anyway.
