What else do I need to install a cam & headers? I got a nice B1 cam and new valve train to install. I'm buying some Hooker Headers and Y-pipe in the next week or so. I plan on installing it all by the end of Sept.
Do I need anything else to get it running right, besides tools? I've heard a new timing chain and water pump, are these necessary? What about tuning...should I get a MAFT?
