You'll definitely have to get it tuned. I'd consider a set of longtube headers as well if you go the cam route.

tuned, different valve springs, lots of things you need to change while you have it apart. You didnt mention any other mods, how much lift depends, stock heads? when you start the mods, it never ends until you run out of money
