Im not really sure if I will have to replace the gaskets seeing as how it only has 40k on it.

Cam is the Comp 212/218 .558 .563 Hi-Lift Version.
From searches I've learned that the stock pushrods will be fine, but will I need to swap the srpings for some z06 springs or something better?
I would like to spin it to 6400 so keep that in your consideration.

The tools will be taken care of I think. I will also probably get a few extra spring locks just in case. And of course oil and antifreeze.

Anything else???

 

That cam will pull slightly higher. Consider shifting at 6600rpm.

 

well thats good news, will the stock pushrods and zo6 springs still work with that?

 

I would not recommend shifting @ 6600 with stock pushrods. Get a set of hardened ones. They run about $70 used.

 

6600rpms ??, with a 212/218 ??....ok

I'd be leaning towards a 6200rpm shift with that cam but if it'll make power that high go for it.............

 

Thats more along the lines of what I was thinking.

 

6000-6200 shift is what my 210/218 is set for

but definitly get some different pushrods since they are so easy to swap lol

 

I am under the impression he is talking abuot the XR265HR cam. The complete specs on this cam are 212/218 558/563 115
I have tuned this cam before and it pulls nicely to 6700. Moreover, according to comp cams, it's operating range is from 1400-6700.

Furthermore, I currently have a 212/218 522/529 114 and ran my best time shifting at 6500.
You should be fine shifting at 6600-6700 with this cam.

 

If you are gonna spin the motor anywhere past 6000 rmp, I would get hardened pushrods and go with a more stout spring like at least a Comp 915, (which you can get fairly cheap) but i would run 918s just to be safe.

 

do it right the first time, get you some 918 springs and some hardened pushrods.... pm me and I'll give you a number where you can buy them the cheapest here in houston.... I am no cam expert but I agree with Tiburon, I think if you get teh hardened pushrods and 918springs, you should be able to shift at 6500-6700??
