I want to get some more horses under the hood.

Recently read that a new cam is the best option.

What size would give me the most power without having to do headwork?

Idk. I just saw a video where a guy installed a cam in his LS1 and netted around a hundred horsepower.

He explained that the intake, factory headers, and heads were sufficient for that particular cam swap.

I'm a shade tree mechanic on my best day.

That's why I'm here asking questions.

I need more than a utube video to justify the time, investment, and risk to myself and my vehicle.

I appreciate any information and/or advice you may have to offer.

Has my ignorance repulsed everyone to give up on me?

Or is there so much to educate me about that no one can know where to begin?
