Stage 2 cams on an internally stock engine is not right. Stage 2 cams, for any company, generally RECCOMEND an increase in compression and increased flow at both the intake and exhaust ports of the head.

You're going to want a lot of things which you probably have not even figured into your budget yet, have you set a power goal? On top of this, your car is somewhat entering the "high mileage" category and you might want to go ahead and rebuild the head since you're going to be working on it.

Look at some of the cam dyno's on http://www.skunk2.com

A power goal can really help in allowing people to assess your situation.

 

eesh, it sounds like you've got some major questions to ask yourself (what are my goals, etc. like ^ suggested)) and some serious homework. ever consider a ls-turbo or ls-vtec?

 

im trying to to get about 200whp on a na or if i do ls-turbo mabye 250whp ish i want to turbo but i dont want to spend $2500
