Arp cam retainer, camshaft and crankshaft bolts. Are you changing lifters also?

It has nothing to do with the cam swap but I'd get a SLP lid and stock lower air box to get rid of that hot air sucking K&N CIA (more like HIA hot air induction).

I'd leave the lifters alone on a car with only 16k on the clock. What are the specs of the TV4 TSP's website doesn't even show it yet, do you know what lobes it's ground on?

I ordered the same cam with PRC stg 2.5 5.3L heads on Friday. Parts will be in tomorrow. Hope to have installed by next week.

Then it sounds like you have most of what you need. Again you will need a minimum of a new crankshaft/balancer bolt. I like to put arp cam retainer, and timing gear bolts in em also.

Looks like LSL/LXL lobes so it wont beat up your valve train parts like some of TSP's older cam designs. It should be a solid performer that makes a lot of midrange power that carriers into the upper rpm range.

I believe Texas Speed stated in another thread the lobes on this new cam and a line of other new cams they haven't got on the site yet use proprietary lobes.

Supposedly this new v4 makes the power of the v3 to within an insignificant amount but with a much less aggressive lobe.

A new cat back. Your car is going to sound amazing for a week. Then you will want to rip your eyes out. Manga flow + electric cutout = best of both worlds.

Agree with this 100%

You could even sell the loudmouth and get a stock catback and just add the electric cutout...That what I did and loved it...Nice and quiet when cruising and opened up the cutout and it sounded awesome..
