The method described in the work shop manual requires no special tools and is reasonably straight forward. Take care with the crankshaft seal, it can easily be damaged and leak afterward. You will need 4 magnetic parts finders (magnet on the end of extender) to hold the lifters out of the way. The intake and injectors currently in place will work fine. G56 pipes or de baffled stock pipes help as does a G56 air cleaner housing. An unlocked ECU with upgraded firmware from S&S would be of benefit also.
The power increase is noticeable but S&S says you don’t really feel a big hit until you start increasing the displacement. Since you say your car is low mileage, your current valve springs should be adequate.
