Comp Cam for my 4.0
Rolled my Jeep a few weeks back, so I have a motor I can toy around with and mod as I see fit. I want to put this comp cam in the motor http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-CL68-232-4 and my questions are as follows:
-It comes with new lifters, but will I need new valve springs, rocker arms, etc?
-Will I need to change from the stock fuel injectors?
-Will stock ignition be ok?
-Will the stock air intake and manifold/throttle body work with a new camshaft?
Forgive me if these are stupid inquiries, this is my first time really delving into internals on a motor before. Thanks in advance guys.

Not stupid inquiries, but I don't have an answer either. I would call CompCams help line and ask them, after all, they are the ones who designed the cam.

Yeah, I found a Comp Cam on Summit that is for the 4.0 242 I6 that comes with hydraulic flat tappet lifters, then I'd just have to buy springs and retainers. I believe I can run everything else stock.

Still leaves the question about the Injectors and Ignition. Any experts out there who can help?

Thanks Outlaw, those were my few main concerns, and you covered 'em! Hopefully I get to do this soon.
