What do you HAVE to change along with a bigger cam. About the only thing you need to upgrade will be the springs as AdioSS already said.

Of course you can go for the gold like I did when I did heads/cam....that little bit turned into a lot with P&P'd heads/intake, RR's (which I already had when I did my original Hotcam kit), Comp R lifters, hardened pushrods, GTP-6 cam, CC987 springs, electric WP, Cloyes timing chain, Delteq, etc....so then you add those and the other things like gaskets, plugs, cam lube, RTV, oil, antifreeze and maybe a few bucks here and there if you break a part or need something like the fuel line disconnect tool. All the little things add up in a hurry!

But what would you absolutely have to upgrade....just the springs.
