Heads built with springs and intake and possibly some fuel if you go crazy with the tune.

I am thinking of getting the same cam package from TSP. What kind of numbers did you put down with your car and have you run it at the strip yet? Did you have to upgrade your fuel pump?

You can get a LS2 chain for cheap. It depends how much cash you want to drop on other parts

If you want a single chain we offer an IWIS chain as well as the LS2 chain for the same price. For double rollers, Rollmaster offers a full line-up to meet your needs. While you've got the pump off, it's a good time to go back on with the ported pump we offer. It gives you the benefit of more consistent flow of oil through the pump, and is shimmed to give you slightly more pressure as well.

Let us know if we can help!
