Cam packages? I wanna get a cam package for higher end power.. but all the cam sites suck *** to navigate, I can't find a damn thing. Maybe I'm just retarded, but anyone know a good way to look at full packages?(I want something bigger than the hotcam).
A complete package goes way beyond the valvetrain, to do it right you need the following;
Cam
pushrods (hardened)
Rockers
Springs
Lifters
a Large assortment of gaskets
timing chain
Oil pump drive
and many more things, in the end my bill topped about $2000 but i decided to go throug a complete rebuild, pretty much a brand new motor with a bigger cam and great valve train.

If you are not keeping it for to long I would just buy the pieces you need. basicly the cam, roller rockers. hardend push rods, spring, retainer, locks, and locator's. plus the needed gaskets. Even if you bought the LT4 hot cam kit plus your install after tax and still needed gaskets. you will be past 1K. I would just go with the LT4 hot cam kit it has everything you need but the push rods and gaskets. cams that are much bigger will require a tune and a higher stall converter.

I agree that would be more fun.

Hmmm, I was only going to throw the cam in because I am going to sell my entire LT1 set up when I buy my LS1. Only 115k, but I figured I could freshen it up a bit for the sale, and have something to play with while I decide which engine I'm buying.
