Before you do a cam, put some bolt on's in. Get a cold air injection system (CAI), a set of headers (long tubes if you don't have emissions testing, or can get away with it ) and cat back exhaust to start. You will need these at least if you're planning on a bigger cam and they do provide decent performance gains. If you really want to wake your car up, install a higher ratio set of rear gears. 3.73's if you have an auto or 4.11's if you have a stick. You'll need to have the ECM reprogrammed for the gears and cam for that matter. Also if you have an auto, a higher stall torque converter will definitely help.

For the cam you will need new valve springs/retainers/locks and roller rockers since the stockers can't handle much more than the cam that's in it now. As far as cam's go (I'm gonna take a beating here), COMP's CC503, XFI466, XFI467 are good choices for stock flow heads.

I don't mean to scare you, but there are alot of things that need to be in place before/with the big cam.
