Well cam is not a bad idea, i was going to do it may self, but installation is a pain in the ass. it si not much for a cam maybe 300$ but installaiton is expensive if you want someone to do it, and if you do it you need a powertuner to tune the car out. Someone should chim in with more details...

It seems the install costs more than the part itself in most cases. Its a pretty tough job, and theres a lot to go wrong.

A cam install is a weekend job and is not that difficult if you have some mechanical experience and are careful with details ,but there is room for fatal error if you are sloppy .Chico.

Does the engine have to be pulled in order to install a cam?

You'll need to drop your motor just a bit to get to it from the pass side, but I do believe that's the easiest way.
