replacing my camshaft

i searched but didnt see anything about it on other threads soo.... I have been having issues with my timing and pulled off the water pump and all that good stuff because ive been having issues for awhile and decided to see if it was my timing chain and gear and sure enough the chain was loose and the teeth were almost gone soo since i need to replace those i wanted to change the camshaft also...is there anything i need to check for clearance wise when throwing in a cam or do i need to get a cam that matches the timing gear and stuff i was gonna get the edelbrock 7821 performer timing gear and chain and i would like to get the lunati truck avenger cam and lifter kit 90400lk or am i good to go just throw them on in?

The cam and springs need to be matched. I would use Lunati's spring recommendation. I understand factory springs were good for factory lift... no more.
