Best place to get a heads/cam swap gasket and bolt package? I've got all the big stuff to do heads and cam on my LQ4, but I still need the gaskets, head bolts, and crank bolt to complete the swap.
Anyone know who has the best deal on a complete kit?

Texas Speed!
I priced out everything from Summit Racing and TSP was cheaper by about $20 W/ARP option added. Shipping though may even the spread. I would get from TSP. The kit is about $159.99 with stock fasteners.

Like I said I already did the homework...Texas speed has the cheapest kit and they are all GM parts. I guess you can pick gaskets here and there from various GM parts vedors and have Summit price match? Keep in mind, some manufacturers such as Felpro use cork and paper where GM is rubber and metal.

I called TSP and got everything I needed. I am very pleased with what we talked about and love the performance gains. Plus if you have any questions they are just a phone call away. I would do it again if I had another car. Good guys to work with.
