I'd just get the inlet manifold mate tbf mate cams aren't just a case of fitting them and away you go depending on the profile of the cam you may have to get a fully adjustable ecu to adjust the fuel settings plus retard/advance the cam timing!! Theirs a good guide to cams in the HELP section check that out but in my opinion I'd get the inlet easy enough to fit providing you good with your hands plus you can expect gains of 15-20hp with one fitted!!
