But if you buy a hyd roller cam you won't need to replace the lifters. And I've never trusted the cam,lifter & spring kits. They usually use the cheaper lifters & springs in them. You think you are getting a bargan, but you really aren't.
To get the springs alone you are looking at $55-$200 for a set of 16 singles. and unless you are going with a really radical cam you'll probably end up in the $100 range. And if you are going to run a radical cam....I would NEVER trust "kitted" springs.
