Default camshaft questions

so i want to get a new cam kit for my jeep, and ive been searching around and found a few, but ive also been thinking about how i have the distributorless ignition and have the camshaft position system for timing and all that and i was wondering if i need to get anything different because of that or if the sensor just reads off the cam gear, just wanna get everything figured out before i start buying stuff

If you have any questions on your cam choice just call the company, and they can help you out better and you will get the right answers. But yes like stated above the cams are the same.

You might as well see if they offer a timing chain and gears with a camshaft lifter and push rods in a kit while you have it all apart. Also check your water pump and t-stat, get her already for winter.
