I'm not sure if you're familiar with the c7 platform. If you're not and don't plan on doing the work yourself just know that installing a cam is an expensive task on this car. I've seen most places charging $3k-4k for a cam install. Add that to about $2k for the cost of headers and it gets expensive quick.

^^ I agree most people who do cams go ahead and do drop in pistons, torque converter depending on their goals for the car. Not sure what your power goals are but these cars don't pick up a ton of power with just a cam like the C6's did back in the day.

Doing the drop in pistons and the converter is a good move but not completely needed. If you are an automatic car the stock converter will limit your cam selection.
