Default Do I have EVERYTHING covered?

There's a lot more to getting a cam then I ever imagined. Someone please tell me if this is all I need...

MS3 cam
Platinum dual springs
Titanium retainers
Hardened spring seats
GM valve seals
TSP hardened pushrods
GM timing cover gasket
GM timing cover seal
GM water pump gaskets
GM harmonic balancer bolt
Ported LS6 oil pump
LS6 intake
New timing chain(where can I get an LS2 one and how much are they?)

TIA...

Off the top of my head that list looks good, except for a quick trip to a dealer. Don't forget to grab a new pickup tube O-ring and some spare valve stem retainers/locks.

From my install over the weekend, I would say the Crane valvespring tool makes life much easier.
