They say 1.7 roller rockers act like a mild cam and is much easier to install. I've never read up on it but thats what I heard.

You can just do throttle body,cai and tuner and you will notice some nice power

Well I might be wrong here but I think you will need valve springs,rockers,pushrods ect to get the sound you are looking for from a cam.
