I am about to order a cam from thunder racing and I am some questions. I am going to order one of there packages. One of there packages comes with the cam, springs, pushrods, and a gasket set. The other one comes with the cam, springs, titanium retainers, hardened seats, valve stem seals, pushrods, and gasket set. I am going to get the 224/224 114 cam, so the cam is not that radical. Which one of those packages should I get? Money is kinda of an issue too. The first one is $630 and the second one is $765.

Option 1:
Thunder Racing LS1 Cam Swap Package Includes:
- Your Choice of Thunder Racing Custom Grind Camshaft
- Comp Cams 26918 Valve Springs
- Comp Cams 772 Titanium Retainers ($100 Additional)
- Thunder Racing Stock Length Pushrods (7.400)
- Cam Swap Gasket Kit (Specify Year of Car)

Option 2:
Thunder Racing LS1 Cam Swap Package w/ Dual Valve Springs Includes:
- Your Choice of Thunder Racing Custom Grind Camshaft
- Crane Cams 144832-16 Valve Springs
- Crane Cams 144661 Titanium Retainers
- Crane Cams 144460-16 Hardened Seats
- 11-VS-UV5001-EO Valve Stem Seals
- Thunder Racing Stock Length Pushrods (7.400)
- Cam Swap Gasket Kit (Specify Year of Car)
- Change to Comp Cams 63-26921-KIT Spring kit for $175 additional

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh ya there special ends on 6/30, so the sooner yall help the better. Thanks.

Would I need to get new lifters, or not? With that cam that I said I don't want to have anything break and have to go back and fix it. As of right now I am going to assume no on the new lifters.

depending on your mileage i'd consider new lifters but you'll have to pull the heads. i swapped mine out at 96k miles and they still looked in decent condition.

my car is a 00 with only 28k miles on it. I am buying the t-rex cam. Money is also an issue for me. Can i get away with buying the opition 1 package or should i really go with the second package?
