What kind of idle can I expect with this camshaft?

What other parts might I need when installing this cam and lifter kit?

Besides the included camshaft, lifters, and assembly lube, you'll likely need new engine oil, an oil filter, and potentially new valve springs and retainers compatible with the camshaft's lift. It's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of requirements.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

The kit comes with the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions. While these are the core components, it's advisable to have other related items like fresh engine oil and a new oil filter on hand for a complete installation.
