Take a second and read a little more. You're new so I'll help ya out.

Upgrade all your bolt ons before a cam. This includes but is not limited to:
lower control arms and relocation brackets
gears
higher stall converter/clutch
1.6 RR and new valvetrain
electric waterpump
headers and full exhaust
another custom tune (who did yours btw?)
better opti is also a great idea

Basically, just throwing a cam in won't make your car nearly as enjoyable as doing it right with all the supporting mods first.
