Default replacing pushrods and cam

I need a little help please. In the past 5 months I have had to replace two pushrods. One of which was broken in half. The last repair was in January and I just started to feel a vibration today and I am positive that the next bent pushrod will be very soon. I spoke with LG earlier in the year and they suggested that I replace all pushrods as well as the timing chain. I thought that was a good idea and I am going to take my car to a local shop by the end of this week to have that done. My question is, would it also be a good idea to replace the cam, while keeping everything else in the motor stock? I can't afford to go all out and get a set of heads. But for a few hundred dollars more could I get a mild cam that will work with the stock rocker arms and give me at least 20 hp at the wheels? And if so, any suggestions on what cam to buy? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric
