Installing Cams

I am thinking of getting some ITR cams to put in my Civic Si. My question is on a scale of 1-5 how difficult is it to install. Is it basically just installing the cams and thats it?

They will work with the stock adjusters, but make sure to check lash after the install. I would recommend the valve springs and lost motion assemblies as well.

Fuck it I think I will just save my money and start piecing a turbo kit. I dont think ITR cams will benefit me when I get turbo or will it? Will a ITR intake manifold benefit me when I go turbo? Basically I just want to spend money on things that are going to help when I get my turbo setup.

Then buy nothing and save for the turbo setup. Upgrade later. Trust me on this one. Just wait until you have the turbo on the car before you start to "upgrade".
