Cam? what else?
I am looking at cams soon, I found Comp Cams XFI LT1 Camshaft, 218 / 224, .570 / .565 113 LSA - says its got a strong midrange, good low end, and works good with computer tune, headers, and what not....
my question is what kind of other stuff do I need? springs/retainers/locks/pushrods?
what kind do you guys suggest with this particular cam, and do you suggest getting heads first?

Check ou this thread I started inquiring about that cam

I decided the idle was still a little radical for my wife to handle so I went with a LPE211/219, but I'd still like to get this cam for something else.
For the PAC1218 or 1518s, they need the same locks/retainers/seats as the comps
795-16 retainers
611-16 locks
4705-16 seats

Oh yeah, you'll also need to get a pushrod length checker and measure for proper pr length, if you don't know how to do that, its not that hard, just takes a little time, do a search and you'll find the process..do it with the car off, cranking it by hand. Don't take anyones advice on what length to get..too many variables..if someone is telling you a length, its because their own setup may not be correct and not have the proper geometry. Normally will be in the 7.1 to 7.25 range.
