ms3 cam only build plans im almost done ordering all the parts for a cam only build.
heres the list
ms3 on a 112lsa with prc .660 lift valvetrain kit
tsp ported ls6 oil pump
tsp 1 7/8 headers and catted y
c5r chain
ls7 lifters
asp underdrive pulley
head and cam gasket kit
gm oem head bolts(will get arp head bolts when i do heads and intake)
also not that it matters for cam install but i ordered 3.90 gears, slp air lid, smooth bellows, 160 thermostat, fan switch, line lock and some new rims and tires.
is there anything else i am forgetting for install? im having my local tuner do the install and dyno tuning and want to make sure i have everything before i bring it in

List looks pretty good to me, but but are you changing the lifters for assurance? If your taking off the heads putting in longtubes I think you should save up for some PRC Heads. And as an opinion I would add an underdrive pulley and LS6 intake to the list.

Yeah man, if your going with a cam, headers, pulley, defintly get an LS6 intake. Their only $300 and make your combo even better.
I'd say with your M6 and gears, guessing at least 400 at the rear.
I have 4.10s, M6, No cam, and am doing 360 with bolt-ons.
Should be a good build you have there, think about putting in some new rear LCA's too for better traction.

My CETA had PRC 5.3s, MS3, FAST 90/90, 150 shot and the usual bolt ons and still had 3.42 gears. On a SOFT launch(3500) it went 7.03 @ 103 with a 1.91 60ft. That was short shifting at 6000 instead of 6700.
