Andrews TW37G install questions/help
I picked up the cams and gears, now I need the Installation kit and the Cam Gear Kit. Just want to make sure I am getting the correct items - can someone help confirm that these two items are correct?
I also am checking to see if the install kit above comes with the Torrington B148 needle bearings. I red that these are recommended for geared cams.

Also, should I buy a new oil pump when changing these cams? I remember one time, when the bike got hot, it was hard to start. After three or four tries it started and I took off. I looked down and saw that the oil pressure was really low, like 10psi. It was creeping up, and after about 20 seconds, it came back up to normal. Been riding the bike since, runs fine.

Both kits are OK. OEM chain drive cams take a roller bearing in the rear cam but with gear drive cams, the rear bearing should be a ball bearing and the install kit has two ball bearings and the B148s so AOK.
Don't worry about oil pressure, 8-10psi at idle is normal on the early models. If you want to replace the pump, snag a Daytona pump on Ebay; good hardware at a reasonable price.
