for the hotcam or really any cam at that you need to replace your springs, lifters, rockers (1.6RRs if you can afford it) and all the necessary hardware.

Yea i agree with 96caprice. I would suggest the CC305 or the LT4 hot cam kit, the kit would be cheaper cause it comes with everything. You dont wanna throw a cam in with stock springs, rods.etc. I put a cam similar to the size of a CC306 on stock internals in my 91 TA (TPI) and i ran good for about a week and it pulled the rocker arm studs out of the head. I could have got away with it if they were screw in studs like the vette heads, but i had to learn that the hard way

9formula4 - what the hell are you giving advice like this for?

To add a HOT cam ("or really any cam at that", you do NOT need to change:

Lifters - that's old school advice for flat tappet cams
Rockers - the HOT cam can be run with stock rockers, or 1.5 rollers. It's best with 1.6, but it doesn't NEED them.
Springs - the HOT cam doesn't even need a spring change if you stick with 1.5 rockers. It needs it with a 1.6.
