Default Cam swap 101.....

Yes I know this is prolly an over posted question but I am gonna ask anyways. I am looking to do a cam swap in the next few weeks and I getting ready to pick on up now.

Here is what I am looking for a good lope and a strong sound. The most important thing is I am looking for the most power I can get and still pass VA inspection. Thats all I really care about is being able to pass emmissions and having gobs of damn power sound I could care less about.


Currently I have FLP's and full exhaust and intake work. I do wanna get a Ls6 intake eventually but I'm not rushed. Is there anything I should get to go along with the cams like rockers or anyhing else?
