Lift, and duration mainly. also with stage 2 and 3 cams it is neccesary to replace valvetrain items such as retainers, and valve springs. i'd even reccomend it just going to stage 1 but that's just me.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
