What else should I get with the TSP TQ2 Cam?> Got in on the special for hardned pushrods, retainers, dual springs, and the torquer II. Should I get anything else that may improve the HP/TQ ratings of my car, or work better for mpg when the engine is torn into? already have all the normal bolt ons.
Car is an 02 WS6 w/ 20kmi, M6.
Would roller rockers or lifters help any, or not worth it?
Going to get a LS2 timing chain as well for the added security.

Congrats. I just bought the same exact package early this week. I added the GM Cam Bolt and Gasket set and underdrive pulley. Figured I'd swap the pulley while I'm down there.
I wouldn't upgrade the rockers cause that cam has got some pretty good lift as it is on aggressive lobes (Comp XE-R). Valve float and spring life would be an issue here.

Checked your sig and saw you don't have long tube headers listed. If you're gonna stick with stock manifolds, you probably chose the wrong cam. Are you planning headers? You're gonna be missing out on some serious power without them.

Nope, have all the bolt ons. Just haven't bothered to update signature, lol. Have FLP's w/ cats. Only thing I don't have is underdrive pulley and a FAST intake.

I've been reading a lot on these boards about how the underdrive pulley doesn't help out A4s as much as it does the M6s, but I decided to replace the pulley anyway since I'm gonna be in there.
