before you spend you money on cams do a research.

think and be sure of what you want/need.

upgrades are expensive, so u want to make sure to know what your goals are before spending your money.

i changed my cams 3 times before i was satisfied. i mean heck u mighy decide to change the motor completely.

after market cams will need more gas and some like mine like high compression.

do your research, its the best advise i can give you. you will not be happy with just changing your cams, u will want more power.

as for the controller you can get a used one for $400

too many ppl overcam their car. or they get a cam and have no idea how to tune it. if you are one of those ppl, invest time in learning what you're doing before you invest money in a cam.
