I might buy this cam...
"T rex is 242/245 612/615 on a 112 i believe. i have the cam card at home."
But i need to know if i will have to do anything else besides install and tune to make this work right.?
I have full exhaust and intake with home ported TB

Well, the trex is a very radical cam, but it sounds like you have most the boltons. Are you an M6 or A4? If you're an A4 you'll definately need a stall and if your a M6 you definately need some gears. I'm sure some trex owners can chime in and tell you from experience what you'll need.

You'll have to get all the matching valvetrain parts (p-rods, springs, retainers, seals, locks) + gaskets+ T-chain+ oil pump. That is to put the cam in.
Perhaps if you listed all your mods people would be able to let you know exactly.

Jet hot LT's ORY thru Borla 3'' all the way
Lid, Ported TB, Descreened MAF...its an 02 so obviously the LS6 Intake, FRA, And that hood that doesn't do anything
I installed the headers myself, along with everyhting else, so i will be doing my Cam install as well, but i have NO idea when it comes to this stuff...
Underdrive pulley is in the works as well.

I have a TREX in my car with 3.73 M6 and it still is a pain, you will probably want 4.xx gears if you like driving your car more than a few times a week.
But overall its a great cam, just don't cheap out on valvesprings, and plan on getting some thunderracing hardened 7.400 pushrods too

You can't really go wrong with that Thunder Racing package deal. That way you know you have everything you need, and won't frag your engine. It's going to be a monster when you're done with this swap.

AGRV8D- You need:
1- Cam
2-valvetrain parts
3- gasket parts
4-Double Roller T-Chain
5-Ported Oil Pump
6- coolant/lubricants/oil
7-All the tools as per JMX's post in LS1howto.com
You figure it out. $1500.00 will get you there.
