Default Is this cam kit a good deal?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COMP-...#ht_2805wt_783

I was trying to piece everything together to buy a cam but i found this deal on ebay. does this look to include all the necessary parts to upgrade the cam or would you reccomend anything else while im at it? im already doing waterpump, oil pump and 160 thermostat, and already have headers, exaust, and intake. lAre the rods for sure gonna be the right length that com in that kit and should I do the comp rocker arm upgrade as well? what else!? thanks!

Well u already have good heads and intake take for instance u can get a cam kit from tsp for around 700 u can chose which cam u want or get there opions you will also get harded push rods and dual springs the extra hardware in that comp kit isn't neccesary unless needed also your rockers will be fine for your goals

The cash you save from not getting that ebay kit can go towards a good tune

Study more about cam swap, price it all, including a tune. If short on $$, then save and wait till you have it all.
