I was going to do heads and cam, but can only afford a cam swap right now, so heres what i have and what i need, if theres anything else could someone chime in?

check list for cam
Mti x1 cam
Comp 918 springs
Hardened pushrods

what i need
ls2 timing chain
gasket kit
Tune

I have low miles on the engine (02 ls1) so im going to wait till i do the heads to do the lifters, so i dont have to pull the heads off twice.

lt's, ud pulley, ls6 intake, ported tb
think ill hit 390+?

Feel free to read his entire original post !

I would say you need an oil change and some coolant on top of the list you have.

Also, you need a valve spring changing tool !

Dont forget to look up the rocker arm torque specs, I THINK they are 22 ft.lb but im not 100%.

you need the harmonic balancer bolt

maybe some cam lube
and a pulley remover

If you take the oil pump off dont forget the O-ring.

you should definitely be around the 390 range with that cam. i made 395 stock heads on my auto with that cam and no pulley.

called up texas speed, they said there cam gaskit kit comes with harmonic balencer bolt, cam lube, etc, so looks like ill just get that and the ls2 timing chain kit, also does anyone have a set of locks for some 918 springs? i mean like 2 half pieces for one spring, i bought some springs on here from a guy, he did a horrible job packaging the stuff and those were missing, and do i need shims? because i only got half of them.
