Youve got to at the very least change out your valvesprings and get a tune of some sort wether it be a mail order or dyno tune. Its dumb not to replace the other stuff while youre in there though.

1.6RR are a good investment. Summit sells the LT4 HOTCAM Kit. It's very streetable. Comes with Cam, LT4 Springs and 1.6 RR. Everyone has their opinion on it, I like it.

There are better Cams out there, the LT4 HOTCAM is a good priced kit, and it is all complete. Here is where I bought it, $529.95.
