Are asking what mods you should do in addition to the cam? Your gonna need a BIG stall and a built tranny or ant other mods are gonna be useless.

+1 on big converter (3800+) and more compression, which will be hard for a LQ4, if you want to run that cam. If this is your DD, I would do a smaller cam. IMO
