Springs/locks/retainers, timing chain, oil/filter, pushrods, gaskets, etc. If your buying the cam new from TSP, they will help you get all the parts you need for the swap.

tire spin is a common problem after installing that cam. You'll need coolant too since you'll be draining it for the install.

Our cam package 2 will come with everything required for a cam install. We usually look to get closer to 30k miles out of the dual springkit that comes with that cam package. We also offer a cam swap gasket kit that will come with all the gaskets needed to that install. Feel free to PM me or give us a call at the shop if you have any more questions!

if its an m6....the stock clutch won't hold the power. will proably work for daily driving, but under WOT it will slip.

and when you put a good clutch in it, you'll run the risk of losing your stock rear end. the 10bolt are weak.

things to keep in mind.


if its an auto....a high stall will be needed.


and don't forget the tune after the install.
