If you go with a cam you won't need rockers.

Has anyone done a cam and the Cartuning kit?

The typical supporting parts for a cam swap are better valve springs and hardened pushrods.The pulley bolt is TTY, so you need a new one and I would also get new front seal, timing cover gasket and water pump gasket. If you have a few miles on the motor, you might also want to get a new timing set and oil pump. You do know you pretty much have to pull the engine to do the cam swap, right?

I figured I might have to pull the motor, and agreed, has anyone ran a cam with the cartunning turbo kit? And what cam would be sugguested? I want something with a nice lope to it, I'm still kinda new to the LS4 world

Do the trans 1st.
Turbo 2nd.
Then the cam if you want.
I came across this the other day.

If I was to do a cam I'd probably have Pat G spec one.
