You need headers before a cam. The stock rockers will work just fine. Go read through the internal engine section and make the decision yourself.

Does your plate stand for "Wanna Race" Or "One Naturally Aspirated Race" ??

The 224/224 is going to be the most popular mild DD cam.

search through the site sponsors list. I'm sure one of them will have what you're looking for.

I would consider the GT2-3 cam from Lingenfelter. It makes good power, idles like stock, doesn't hurt gas mileage and has great street manners.

just depends on what ratio rockers your replacing the stock 1.7 ratios with, the higher the number the more ur lift ur gonna create with those rockers, remember lift is not what really makes power...its duration, and lift just comes as a side effect of nasty high durated cams.
