Default Hot Rod Cams-What Else?

I am going to order the FRPP Hot Rod cams today, is there anything else that I will need to do this job? I am going to give it to my local speed shop to do, so as far as needing anything else I am referring to parts that go along with the cams, not special tools (the shop will have those).

Thanks!
Mike

You need two new cam bolts because they are a one time use only. They cost about $30 and they do not come with the cams.

Yeah, I am a traitor, ***** Thumpers... But I won't talk bad about the Hot Rods. It's just I don't have to worry about someone trying to pass COMPS off as FRPP. haha

But for real it took a lot of deciding, but I got such a great deal on them brand new I couldn't pass them up. I am here for 3 more weeks and it's driving me nuts!!!
