Hello, I recently ordered a h/c package from TSP as well as some other supporting items from other places. Here’s all I have coming, let me know if you suggest to add anything else…. Label it as a “must” or “optional”. I’m sure I have somethings on the list that are not necessary, but hey, they’re on their way. Thanks for the inputs!

Already have:
-SLP LTs
-SLP LM
-ASP pullies
-FTRA
-upgraded suspension

On the way:
- PRC Stg. 2.5 5.3L heads
- MS3 cam on 113LSA
- Bolts/gaskets
- Ported ls6 oil pump
- Double-roller adj. timing chain
- LS7 lifters
- Ported FAST 90/90 setup
- 85mm MAF
- 85mm lid
- 36# injectors
- NGK tr55 plugs
- New brakes/rotors & ss lines

So besides a new rearend, what would you suggest? lol

It all depends on what you're looking to accomplish with the mods, however you can add an electric water pump to pick up a few extra rwhp. You're already aware of the rear end issue, might as well take care of the rear gear swap at the same time...3.90's or 4.10's would really liven that bad boy up in town!

Finally, now is definitely the time for a nice set of weld on sub-frame connectors. I imagine my setup will make less power at the wheels than your new setup, and I was already starting to have major "dimpling" issues.

Thanks for the inputs on the gears; yeah definitely would be part of the rearend upgrade ... not sure when that'll happen, but I'm sure not too far off lol

I have some BMR SFCs right now, so I think I'm good. Would love to have the KBDD SFCs but due to the LTs and Ypipe, I can't.

Is the ASP u/d pulley on? I'm guessing you have shorter belts for it. Those will be needed

looks good to me keep us updated when the build starts and what kinda power your making. I would also go with the electric water pump to save a few ponies and its something that goes out anyways.

Are you going to sell your TR224 after the new cam and heads? I might be interested in it.. How does it idle? Super choppy or barely noticeable? Do you have any power numbers from it?

As far as your list, everything looks like it has been addressed. You obviously have new gaskets for everything right? Thats about the only thing I didnt see listed.

Good luck with it, and let me know about the cam if your interested in selling.

I know you said you had "bolts/gaskets", but make sure you have a new BLUE O-ring for the oil pump pickup tube and new intake gaskets. I used the orange FAST gaskets and they worked great. Not sure if you can re-use the LS1/6 intake gaskets on a FAST or not. Assuming you can't. Just some nickel and dime stuff you might not have.
