you will need springs and pushrods and you should get a underdrive pulley while you have it apart.
you will need to get tuning done and you should get the headers too

Default (Yet another) cam advice post

I am leaning toward the Thunder Racing 224/224 .561/.561 114LSA. You can see my current mods in my signature, also about to add an ORP to existing manifold. What valvetrain upgrades are a MUST to install with this cam, as well as any other recommended bolt-ons. I am not ready to pay for a set of heads, and I really want to lower my car, so LT headers could cause ground clearance issues.
