You don't need a cam yet buddy, if your car is bone stock. Get a lid, exhaust, and other bolt-ons first.

Try reading about cams first bud, and then realize you need bolt ons!

you can get by with an ls6 intake instead of a fast .
as far as the valvetrain setup you can get that as a kit from a number of the sponsors on the side . they might even have a deal going on in the sponsor section of the for sale .
