HAHAHAHAHA I agree with the guy above. Its a SOHC...not DOHC,

Just leave it like it is....dosn't seem like you would even know what the camshaft is if you seen it. not to mention that the **** needs to be tq'ed down. dont **** up something that already works unless you know what to do.

I'll give you a useful answer since apparently nobody else here will. Yes, you only have one cam hence the sohc engine. The cam you pick will determine weather or not you need to upgrade your valve train (valve springs and retainers). Check out Crower and Zex cams. They seem to be the most popular. Some tuning may be required after the install to keep you idle in check. If you have any doubts, let a shop do it for you.
