i have decided to go ahead and get the crane compucam camshaft. i am getting the one with the 1,500-4,500 rpm band. i think the duration is 204/214. anyway, should i get the 1.6 rockers or the 1.52? i really want to get as much from this as i can. i also think i should get a timing chain while i do this but dont know any part numbers, or how much money to expect to pay for all of this to get installed? any help is appreciated.

Here's how you have fun.
Buy the spring kit, too.
You need it to attain the 6500 RPM potential.
Buy 1.52 roller tip rockers. They fit under thee covers.
Rebuild the heads, if ya can afford it.
New chain is a given.
Gaskets, too.
Also new water pump & theromstat.
It's all in your hands as you do this job.
Call Northern Auto.
I got Fel Pro gaskets & Speed Pro timing chain, delivered for about $50-ish.
I bought a water pump at Kragen for $19, new.

Maybe we can do a group purchase of timing chains with them. I need one.
IF ya get this message quick enough you can still order today.

They have the Crane cam & springs and lifter kit.
Mybe they sell this package as one flat price. Ask.
