Alright I'm going to need a list of everything I'm going to do this cam swap.
Cam
Lifters
Timing chain set
Valve springs?
Push rods?
Will I need a new oil pan gasket?
What kind of break in oil for cam?
Does the radiator have to come out to get the cam all the way out?
Who is going to come babysit me if this doesn't fix my problem to keep me from going postal on the whole town?

I have the comp cams 12-300-4 and it uses stock heads. Don't buy into the cam kits as they end up usually costing more money than what you need.
I bought my pushrods and lifters through Rock Auto and bought my cam seperately and I came out cheaper than buying a cam kit.
Timing chain is always a good investment if your switching cams as they are dirt cheap such as the Cloyes double roller.
I just put a bunch of stuff into the top end of my truck including the cam with refreshed heads. I put a new double roller timing chain into it as well as a 1 piece new oil pan gasket and depending on the year of your block if your rear main seal is 2 piece you might as well do that for some extra insurance.
I'm going to be using studs for my valve covers and have felpro blue gaskets for those already and I picked up a cheap Edelbrock performer intake for my truck as well.
I am hoping that once all is done the truck runs good and I won't have to worry about it for awhile or until the bottom end needs a rebuild.
