Thumbs up Cam Install?

I am looking to install a new cam in my 2000 SS Camaro. What all is needed to do the install? Right now I have picked out

-Texas Speed 228R 228/228 .600"/.600" Camshaft https://www.texas-speed.com/p-1148-t...-camshaft.aspx

-Texas Speed & Performance Chromemoly Pushrods-7.400" (Stock Length) https://www.texas-speed.com/p-278-te...-pushrods.aspx

-Precision Race Components .650" Dual Spring Kit with Titanium Retainers
https://www.texas-speed.com/p-474-pr...retainers.aspx

I will be keeping the stock heads on, I know I will also need a spring compressor. Will be first time doing a cam swap so I will be using LS1howto. What else will be needed for this install?

Grab some new gaskets for the water pump and front timing chain cover. This would also be a good time to do a trunnion upgrade on your factory rockers since you will have them off.
