Cam I have an 02 Ws6 Trans am. 40k Miles on it no problems now or ever.
Only thing I have done to it is exhaust. Slp Loudmouth.
Want to get a Cam and eventually headers, will most likely get a Cam first. I have the Texas Speed Torquer v.2 Camshaft in mind. Im just looking for information about what I have to do if I want to get a cam. Can I install it and run normally? or do I have to upgrade any parts in the engine can my stock engine handle that or will it wear out quicker with stock parts. As by my name I really have no car knowledge what so ever. I try reading stuff but it just wont stick for me =(

You'll want to get better valve springs and some hardened push rods, a few of the sponsors have a valve spring kit (patriot golds are what I have) that includes everything you need then just order the pushrods. I got a good cam and some pushrods both barely used and bought the valve springs new to save some coin. Obviously you'll need some gaskets and then a tune once your done. I would go ahead and do the headers first as you will see a larger gain once the cam goes in plus you can get it tuned for both at the same time.
yeah just like everybody else said, do the headers, off road y pipe, and the rest of the bolt-ons. also is your car an A4 or M6? if its an auto you'll need a stall before getting a cam. if you just get a cam w/out any of the above stuff your car will run like crap and perform like ****. bolt-on cammed out cars are pretty stout!
