Default Planning my cam install

So this coming winter i plan on installing a cam into my ls4. Now, what i need to know is what other things i will need to buy and install along with the cam. I want an aggressive cam as i dont care for the DOD, any input on what cam(links to website would be awsome also) and what other items I will need is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Wow, 107.... You must have had bad spin. That's very low 13 to high 12 territory. Nice...

nmp0098 and DavidGXP are the ones you'd probably want to get in touch with.

you need cam, pushrods, springs, timing gear, different lifters, valve spring compressor, compressed air tool, something to remove the belt, a way to lift the car up to get enough clearance to remove/ install the cam, jack, stands, coolant for when you leak some, loctite and depending on whether or not you reuse the gaskets, water pump gasket, timing cover gasket and valve cover gaskets.........and of course tools.

And I do believe that's a run-on sentence.
