I prefer dealing with a reliable operation like TSP over an unknown on Ebay. And a lot of the stuff in the ebay kit is unnecessary. Happy wrenching

The Victor Reinz kit from the seller on ebay works well, although I got the kit without the head bolts. I had a set of ARP head bolts that I used.

It had a bunch of stuff I didn't use though (ie throttle body gaskets, exhaust manifold collector gaskets - because of Longtubes, egr and air gaskets - i deleted them at the time of the head swap)

Also didn't mess with knock sensors or the valley cover so didn't use those gaskets either.

Also I only did my heads, not heads and cam so your going to need all the gaskets associated with the cam swap.

So i would think that the Texas Speed kit would be better for you as it has those gaskets and parts.
