Default Finishing up my shopping for 408/F1A build. Need checklist

I have a 408 being built so that's taken care of
I have:
Ls6 intake
Lonnies fuel system
90# Injectors
1 7/8 headers
Y-pipe setup(still don't know what exhaust)
Boost, Fuel pressure, and AF gauge
Catch can setup

What else am I missing and need. Hoping to having everything in by the time the fuel system arrives.

Give me ideas of what I may/may not need.

I'm guessing you already have the blower, 8-rib setup, bracket, etc. Did you upgrade the fan? What about the drivetrain? If it's a 6-speed, what clutch is in it?

Yes. I have the blower and all the goodies from ProCharger
Haven't upgraded fan. What's options/suggestions there

Clutch is McLeod RXT with billet flywheel.

Stock 6 speed for now. Gonna be mainly a cruising weekend car so I'm trying to hold off spending 5k on a transmission.

I'm hoping to catch a good deal this "offseason" on a rearend and go from there

spal extreme 16''. Its a short life fan. fairly expensive. flows very well. may still need an additional 9 inch. If your using a shroud make sure you place the fan in a place where it would allow you to put another later if possible.

Aster bracket is the bracket we are talking about. 3.70 pulley to max the blower out at the ls6/fast style intakes rpm band.

as far as exhaust. if you can afford to put any sort of cutout in the exhaust to open her up...may be able to pick up some power by opening it up.


as far as your catch can setup....make sure you study that closely. routing it is important. most of us weld bungs into the valve covers and run the lines to a breather tank nearby to vent crankcase pressure. pressurize it and it wont be good.

CBR pulley is a good upgrade if your looking to maximize efficiency.

What size pulley are you starting off with? Also what fuel? Pump, E85? Seeing if those injectors will be big enough.
