looking to get a cam
looking to get a cam Im lookin at getting a new cam soon. Something along the lines of a FM-11. What other goodies to i need to buy to go with it. I have stock heads and prolly will for awhile.
I have a lid, moser 12 bolt with 4.10's, spec 3 clutch, 160 thremostat, slp cai. The car is a 1999 and has a 6 speed . I want the car to be drivable nothing to outrageous, with occasional trips to the track but mostly road

Doing a search will definetely help you make a decision. There are tons of threads just like this one with great info. yeah i've taken a look at a bunch of cams with the search. and basically im wondering what i need like springs, retainers, and such to change to with a cam like a fm-11 or g5x3

Get a good set of dual valve springs. I would go with the patriot dual's. You get the titanium retainers, locks, seats and viton valve seals for $290 or something close to it.
Get a set of comp r lifters.
Timing chain and gaskets are good to have too.

oil pump wont hurt while your in there especially since your a pre 01 car. And an ASP pulley goes nicley with a cammed car too. Since you have the 12 bolt w/ 410 I would shoot at the G5x3 or F13. thats what im about to get. If you have the $ to spare, TSP has great deals on LS6 intakes too....
good luck either way.

I can vouch for the G5X3 too, stomps my previous setup and is perfect for daily driving, I drive my car everyday and love it. I haven't enjoyed my car this much in about 2 years! Now that I have an awesome setup with the X3, I miss my car when I don't drive it 
I can't say enough about how badass that cam is, it sounds mean as hell and performs better than it sounds
