there is a guy on here that just put stage 2 cams in and it runs fine...seems pretty straight forward on replacing them...i would get all the bolt ons u can get like 2.4 mani, throttle body, pulleys then tune...or u can get all that stuff and go way far then turbo it and tune.

that would be me, you can see the build thread in my sig and there should be videos int here too
its pretty straight forward as long as you do it right, get the timing wrong and youll bend some valves...like i did...no bueno
anywho, car runs great now dynoed at 180.16 with bad afr, that is fixed and we estimate about 190 now to the wheels
