So you know the specs of the night fury are about .620 .620 lift and you can read up on effects of the different LSA usually the smaller the number like 112 make the most power and the duration is up there. There are more aggressive cams out there you can shop around and even custom spec one from the core with places like cam motion. Most use a hardened good core of aircraft steel 8620 I believe. Lethal racing that used to make the night fury cam has closed and other places still can make that grind. I used to have the TSP 235/239 and it was a kick in the pants and with better specs made more. Most get about 480 rwhp on that grind if tuned good on a good dyno for the top numbers and I have seen them lower its all in the dyno set up anyway and the tune. Individual mods added being headers and CAI for the numbers.
You would also need with the three bolt timing gear for a aftermarket cam the bolts that come with gear usually, a new timing cover set, if ditching the pump for higher volume your able to drop the chain and I recommend a ls2 dog bone style damper for the chain versus the ls3 and the Katech c5r chain never broken in corvette racing.

And you cannot forget the gaskets for the timing cover, and if your a motor head like me a couple rounds of Driven racing Br30 for break in and the New Balancer bolt required. Frankly though internally balanced I went for a Fluidampr to dampen harmful vibrations also and its a 25% underdrive to electric only which only matters very little as the idle being 950..... it has like no effect, ( annoying though the instructions I found on summit showed the right belt length but the wrong gates #....lol).

Most places will have to recharge the AC from removing lines and such to get the shaft in and a couple gallons of anti freeze along with oil filter for after the dyno tuning session etc etc And don't forget the tuning to set for your new thermostat at 160 the fans to come on in the tune earlier, the AFR correct for partial and WOT, and ditch the torque management that robs power amongst other things, belts are usually cut off when doing a cam as the AC is a cut off usually, and you may want new tr6ix iridium plugs....so there's a few more for your list...shops usually have some RTV for the edges of the timing cover. Most places know recommended size for their base circle of their cam shaft the correct pushrod lengths usually used. with the lift that potential it most likely would run .650 springs.
