replacing the camshaft

Does anyone know if there is a cam replacement for our cars? I know that all the other models have them but I haven't seen any for ours. And also would a new cam make that much difference or not? What other mods are good hp gains?

Are there any specific places to get it reground at or specific measurements for it? I dont want to have it reground and it mess up everything. I dont really know about camshafts all that much. Also if I had it regound how much increase would I have?

If you don't know about it, do your research before you mess with the engine internals. If I were you, I would learn everything I could about the cam, make sure you can understand what would happen by adding more lift or longer lift duration,etc... so you can talk with a machine shop or something and get it done right. A lot can change with just a slight adjustment. Someone on here (name is slipping my mind) was getting a cam reground by Crower for around $80. They guessed about 5-15 HP, but the true gain is unknown.
