you need headers and exhaust before a cam.
when doing the cam, get a whole cam kit with springs.
also it would be a good idea to put in a ls2 timing chain.
as for which cam, it depends on what youre goals are with the car.
please do explain.

And if you have an ls1 engine, then get ls6 heads, because, the ls1 heads does not flow well.
Comp cams has some nice ones, A mild performer with fair economy is a xer273hr, wich has 224/230 and 114 lsa. very smooth.
When changing a cam or other major parts, then always get a tune up.
