Cams?
To make the install easy you'll need adjustable push rods, SE adjustable push rod kit is only $100 so i'd go with that. As far as the cam you cant go any higher then 510 lift as far as i know and keep the stock valve springs. So since you're not gonna do headwork thats a good cam to choose, good idea to switch to gear drive cams if you have the money but its not needed. S&S makes great cams, and have a great reputation, Andrews is great too. SE cams i've heard arent as well made and theyre not really cheaper so id stay away from them. S&S does a good job explaining what cam is best for your needs, i run S&S 510G in my my ride and its a great broad cam that works great for me.
The link i posted is for S&S cam overview which lists what RPM range each cam is best for and what other engine mods you should have to help it work best. Also it has the table on the left comparing other popular cams to the S&S.

For good low to mid range, consider SE204s as well. I have no issues with these cams. That along with the a/c, pipes and a tuner is all you need for decent power with good reliabiiity.

andrews, woods, t-man, cycle rama, s&s are all good cams you really need to figure out your riding style and go from there....i went with woods tw6-6 and its a great mid/high range cam....it kicks in hard at 3500-6k rpms i added the 30t pulley to give the bottom end some more torque so far the power is outstanding...if i were to do some work on the heads my 96 would make over 100/100 hp&tq no problem...
So from what I gather, I'll need no reinforcements if it's a direct bolt on type. I suppose I'll have investigate the different choices within those parameters. Thanks for the advice everyone! So, I think I'm gonna go with the S&S 510C cams, I think I'll also get a Dynojet PC-V.
