Default Just ordered a cam, what else do I need?

It's a Comp Cam 224/224 .581 .581 on 114 LSA. I have a guy that is selling me some 918s with titanium retainers. What else would I need? Right now my SS is stock except for a jet hot chip. (I'm gonna order a stocker from Wait4me) And I also have a ported TB waiting to go on.

So what else would I need? I don't plan on going with heads for a while.

Proper length chromoley pushrods like comp cams or trickflow's, new crank bolt, new front main seal. You can reuse your water pump and front cover gaskets, if you dont destroy them. You should also look into a double roller timing chain like a rollmaster their cheap and also good insurance. Now to get the most power with the cam you can pick up a set of longtubes and ORY (offroad y pipe), catback exhaust, airlid, and a good dyno tune from one of our sponsors on here. BTW you dont need to order a stock chip just unplug the module and plug the stock harness into the computer.

Anyone got links to the pushrods? Does the Powerbond Pulley from TSP come with a new crank bolt?

Call TSP & tell him Michael from TFCC sent you. He will go through every part you will need. Thats where I got my complete spring kit, pushrods, oil pump, timing chain, Headers, ORY, & all gasket & install kits. Great pricing & customer service.
