You can run stock everything else. It's always a good idea to replace the cam chain during a cam swap unless the motor has low miles on it.

GM makes a severe duty timing set but it aint cheap. My car had 74k when I put the hot cam in it and the stock chain had almost no visible wear. The side deflection was maybe 1/4" but I put a new chain in anyway. I just went with a stock replacement chain on the original gears.

Is it a good setup , the lt4 hotcamkit and the afr eliminator heads , does it work together ?
How many horsepower can i expect ?
Thanks

I would bet at least 80 hp gain.
