Technically this isn't a 3rd gen f-body swap, but I'll allow the topic as long as it's limited to the engine details.

How much hp do you want to make? Do you want a cam only or do H/C?

Well with $1500-2000 a cam swap will eat up most of that.
If you are going to do a cam swap you need room in your budget to do RR,new PR, gaskets, valve springs depending on the cam a stall... You can give Lloyd a call and tell him what you goals are and he can help with a cam.

Another vote for Advanced Induction. They do great work and are very easy to deal with. I've got a set of their CNC ported Trickflow heads on my car right now.
