Default new to the ls1 motors

I just bought a 1998 ls1 c5 vette.

it has b&b bullitt exhaust and intake right now.
i plan on ordering headers and a mid pipe within the next week. so please give me some suggestions on the best brand. price is no problem, i want quality and the best sound.

i picked out cams, and i know everything i need. just give me info on where to get the best products.

im getting the texas speed cam package, which includes whatever camshaft i want, i chose the MS4 with a 112 lsa, PRC platnum spring kit (i dont know if i should upgrade to the .675" lift EHT spring kit), and pushrods ( i have no idea what length is optimal for me, they offer a 7.40", a 7.35", a 7.375" and a 7.425")

i need to find a good place to buy a crank bolt and seal
oil pump
timing chain

and that should be in for the cam, if there is anything else for that please let me know...

also, can i run the car without a tune after the install of the cam until i find a corvette tuner around me?

and where can i find a snake tongue intake?

you can get about anything you need at TSP or the WS6 store ,or a vendor listed to the right.>>>>>>>.get a comp cam trunnion bearing for the stock rockers.get at least a ls6 intake or a fast 90/92 mm intake.read alot more before you start buying parts.the ms4 is a a pretty radical street cam.you need a big stall and lots of rear gear to make it work.how many miles on the motor?what rear gears?auto or manual?do alot more research before buying.big cam dose not equal fast car.
