The cams control the intake and exhaust valves in your cylinder head. pretty important stuff. They spin at half the speed of your crankshaft in the cylinder head and in your engine are driven by the timing chain. Some may be able to DIY, but for you Id leave it to a professional. Incorrectly removing them can lead to breaking your stock ones, and not to mention if you could figure out how to remove them, improper installation, or your timing chain off just a tooth, and you can say good by by to your valves.

the header, you and a buddy might be able to do. That still requires removal of your alternator and drive belt, and will be a pain without a lift. Get a knowledgable buddy and see if he feels like tackling this project. we are here to help, ive done this job at work countless times, and even i get snags here and there.
