Default Few basic questions...

alright ive tried searching and havent came up with alot of complete answers so i figured id give you guys a shot to answer them
1.) with 75k miles on the clock with a well taken care of car is it a bad idea to swap in a cam?
2.)again with the same car, is there any dangers to having the car dyno tuned? ex....blowing it up? lol idk why a dyno scares me so much
3.) i plan on having pacesetter lt's and tsp true duals, and most likely an ls6 intake to go along with the cam, anything else im forgetting?(on a limited budget and need to save for rims also)
4.) save the best for last, car wont be a track monster, will be good weather driver as i have another car, but probally looking at driving 5 days a week, playing around on the street and maybe a few track visits, what do you guys suggest for a decent streetable cam?


sorry for the huge post but your guys input is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

1. Nope.
2. Just so everything is installed right you will be fine.
3. Timing chain, pulley, pushrods, ls6 oil pump...
4. TSP Torquer II

just looked up the specs on the torquer 2, now i dont wanna sound stupid but it says a nice smooth idle, i def dont mind having the cam be heard, but any ideas on the power this cam could put down with a lid, lt's, true duals and an ls6 intake? just wondering because the dyno graph they show says like 410hp on a cam only z. just more questions i guess, thanks for the help in advance
