i just ordered the whole cam package from texas speed. came with everything needed with your choice of cam. thunder racing and other sponsors offer the packages too. i went thru texas speed tho because i wanted the prc dual valve springs and their prices were good.
are you m6 or a4? ls6firebird is right, go through a company like Thunder Racing, Texas-Speed and some others to get a cam package. new gaskets, sealant, a longer bolt for puttin your old crank back on or puttin a U/D pulley on, new coolant, new oil, new spark plugs (if needed) and a tune and you should be good

I got my cam package and gaskets from TSP and was really happy with their quality and customer service. My only complaint was that everything had to be shipped to my credit card mailing address not my work, so I got alot of greif when I came home from work one day.

Haha... Agreed. Do not skimp on parts man, i made that same mistake and learned the hard way, after 1,500 miles i was tearing down a TRASHED block. Save your money and do it right.

I agree, parts for these engines aren't cheap, at all! That's a good price for the cam swap package. Plus, Texas Speed's parts are great quality
