every stage 2 cam on the market i've seen requires upgrading of the valvesprings. running stock springs on big aftermarket cams is asking for dropped valves, coil bind, and loads of other problems.

you may be correct..im just goin on info that i have acumulated from a shop around here..i was asking about stage 3 cams and they told me i would have to do the entire vlave train..he told me i could run stage 2s with stock valve train but since the price for the stage 2s to the stage 3s dont differ too much then it would be worth it to upgrade all..sorry if i relayed false info.

Boost- forced induction, extra air pressure added by a turbo or supercharger.

At this point in time, I think it would be best to just get a knee deep into tuning with an intake, header, and exhaust combination. Research a bit on the different routes you can take toward tuning to see which one suits your needs, wants, and budget best. Then, you can decide which is best and go towards that route. I don't mean to be so vague but this topic is so vague that I can't help it. Research what you want to do and if you still have the dedication you had before and enough money, go for it.
