To get the most out of the cam I would suggest Headers.

What cam are you looking at?

Your gonna need headers to really complement the cam. I suggest LT or mid length (Mac or Bassani). I see you live in Cali, remember only shorties are a go out here.

I always think about doing things now and worry about the consequences later...which I know is bad, but figured that "money talks" and I should have no problems with emissions <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Pcm programming all depends on what cam you get. You can get away with drilling out the TB a little with a 114 lsa, but for 112 I would get programming. Before my programming my car wouldn't idle for ****. Now, she runs perfect..only stalling out sometimes in reverse.

You should also consider a good tq converter.

BTW where in Cali do you live?

peace

Get the headers( TTS). You will need to get the pcm programmed. I recommend going to TTS in compton, Ca. Steve Cole is real good at programming.

[If] you have the heads milled .030", you can use stock length hardened pushrods with the above cam...

WHY? This high lift cam will have a slightly smaller base circle than your factory cam requireing longer pushrods, however, having the heads milled .030" will require shorter pushrods.... Becomes a "tit for tat"..... Use stock length CompCams pushrods.
