First thing first. Your motor has to breathe. Headers, Exhaust, Intake. I know you said stock, but how stock is it? That is a pretty decent sized Cam. I have the MS4, and a buddy of mine has the MS3. Both nice cams, but you'll need all the supporting mods to go with it.

do all bolt ons, stall, and gears and then go cam.... make sure the cam comes after those otherwise you wont get all out of that cam and with the stall i wouldnt go anything smaller than 3800.
