Default cam kit decision

so im getting a new cam for the jeep and ive already figured out what cam i want, but summit has a few different kits though, and i cant decide which i want, they have the basic cam kit with new lifters which is only 180, then they have kits with lifters and a new timing chain set for 200, then they have the big kit with lifters, cam, timing chain set, and new valve springs and thats 330, i dont know if i want to spend the money on all that, i might just get the lowest kit and throw that in there

what do you guys think?

yeah thats what i was thinking, does anybody know if the regular cam kits still work for the 00 cherokees without a distrubutor? i thought it still had a gear drive in it but it was for the crank position sensor, am i right? so it should work with regular cams

Do it all, or do nothing. How many times do you want to tear into your engine?

do it all, if your not going to change anything in the head changing to a more aggressive cam is pointless.
