   link doesnt work properly. theres a little button on the main toolbar of this website labelled "search" or take a look through the stickies. and only need one cam btw
   
   EDIT:

   You'll need to buy some cams. Theres different types of cams, with different durations and lifts (basically there are pussy cams and man cams). I'd recommend going for the newman ph3's.
   
   You'll also need to get them fitted somewhere, and also need your ecu remapping to adjust your fuelling.

   Only problem iv found with the search buttom is if your counts less than 100, you cant see half of the threads! FAIL
   
   Cams wise, i would go for either newmans or cat cams. Very good bhp benifits

   Still doesnt work properly,
   When you say full system is this including a manifold?
   I wouldnt get a cam until you have a manifold as the pressure will be to high for the standard mani i reckon
