MS3/Trex cam for some top end...maybe a smaller 232 ish cam for a lil milder setup. Obviously valvesprings etc.

New Clutch and New rear end...(would recommend 12 bolt before clutch and cam though)

Yes. you will also need to budget for a tune. If you are going to go ahead and get the cam and are on a stock clutch budget a new clutch as well. Stock one won't hold up.

Man, the Trex is a huge cam! It almosts pushes the line between street andtrack in my opinion. I would say try and stay around 230ish duration range and you should be happy!

With a good proper tune, it's not much worse if any than a 228-234 cam. It's all in the hands of a tuner. And if you have a 2nd car and this is just a toy to drive a few days a week, i'd be all bout it bout it.
