Default Support Mods for Cams

I'm in the marketing for buying a cam.
The cam that I'm looking at is Sick & Twisted Camshaft 235/243 .629"/.624 from Hawks Motorsports
So I'm assuming valves and springs need to be upgraded
to support this mod? Anything else too?

Maybe replace the timing chain. I would go to a performance shop's website and look for a cam kit. See what they offer and what options they offer for upgrades. This will give you an idea of what to replace or add.
