well first of all your going to need to change the springs since they won't be able to handle the added lift of the new cam.
You could run a huge cam if you really wanted to but its not going to do you much good since the rest of the engine is stock and will be very restrictive. I'd get a LT4 Hot Cam, 1.6 roller rockers and new springs.
