what do I need?

I am looking at doing a cam swap on my 2010 LS3 Camaro when it comes in.
What all will I need to round up, besides the cam, push rods, locks, dual springs some new retainers. Looking at a double Timing chain..
I am hearing some other things are needed, like new lifters and a LS7 cam gear.

Any info would be appreciated..
Thanks
Daniel

Is your car a manual or auto? If it's an auto, you're going to have to turn off the VVT for now. Comp has not completed their cam phaser as of yet. You'll only have to swap out lifters if you've got the L99 engine. If you have a manual LS3 car your stock lifters will work just fine. Your cam will be the single center-bolt design, so you will need the three-bolt upper timing gear and ARP cam bolt kit. A double timing set is by no means necessary, but we do stock them should you decide to go that route.

Let me know if you have the desire to travel for the installation. We'll be happy to work a deal for you to get more numbers out! Also, let me know if you need any of the bolt-on mods to go with it. We stock the American Racing Headers with and without cats, along with all of the other bolt-ons.
