The LS kit comes with the LS specific socket to turn the crank and the parts to mount your dial indicator on with the heads on or off.
It doesn't come with the light weight checker springs though. I was surprised by that.
Mine didn't come with the foam case like it was suppose to and i for some reason they sent my the BIG degree wheel not the small one listed in the ad.
I keep meaning to call summit and see if I can get the plastic box to put the stuff in so I don't loose everything.

I had bought the socket before then the kit.
The only complaints I have about the kit is this...
It didn't come with checker springs.
It didn't come with a box, which very well may be a fluke since I was one of the first orders.
There is not way to adjust the dial indicator to run parallel with the valve. (Which I don't know if it's even an issue)
The lack of some basic instructions on how to set up the kit.

To use the magnetic base, I used a piece of angle iron from the hardware store to make a bracket that bolted onto the header flange which provided a flat surface to secure the base. It ended up workng out really well.
