The Thunder Racing 224 cam is very hard to beat in terms of power and driveability!

Thunder recommends hardened pushrods, and you will definitely need springs. You can get away with stock retainers.

I personally wouldn't go with hardened pushrods if your car is a M6. This in my personal preference but if you think you can go without missing a shift then put them in. If not i'd leave stockers in for cheap insurance. MHO
