i think he also asked about performance cams for the V6, i'm interested on
this subject, so are there any cams to help out the V6 on mildly modified
engines?

  No, you shouldn't need to change the bearings and lifters unless they
are damaged. (Normally you would replace the lifters on a flat tappet
cam, but since the Magnums use a roller cam, they can be re-used). As
far as the bearings go, if they are bad, the engine would probably need
to be pulled to replace them anyway, so hope that they are good. :-)
(They should be OK though.)
