is there a reason you chose the hotcam? there are so many better cam choices out there.

what all is new in your motor? did you get new lifters? if you did, you shouldn't need new ones. but you're going to need rockers, springs and retainers, pushrods, the cam, probably injectors...uhhh...that's all i can think of off the top of my head
