Nothing is NECESSARY... but it is highly advisable to change the springs and get tuned for the cams. Personally, I think you'd be better off saving your money for other, more beneficial modifications. $600 for cams that will give you MAYBE 20whp more? BIG stretch on the maybe. Double that price though and you've got a S/C kit that can add 100hp or more.

Not hard at all. If you were to ever do it, you just need to make sure you replace the Cam Bolts (the 2 bolts that hold the cam gears to the cams) at they are TTY. Aside from that, timing the engine is the most difficult part, I'd say... and its really not that difficult.
