Default What parts are needed?

Im gettin pretty close to the cam swap and want to know what im forgetting, i want to be safe but i will be runnin different heads near the end if summer so what do i HAVE to change for the cam swap to be safe and get most gains from stock heads. I know ill need better pushrods, and valve springs the 918's seem to be the cheaper choice for stock heads but will i need retainers also that would add another 160 to my project. Of course the cam but what gaskets too. Sorry this is such a broad and boring question but i want to know very close to what ill be spendin and exactly what im doin before i hop in over my head. TIA, Nick

Thunder sells a gasket package for a cam swap:

The stock retainers will be fine with the 918s.
