I'd consider a new timing chain, and an underdrive pulley if you don't have one. And if you don't already know you will need a puller for the pulley, a new crank bolt and preferably a pulley install tool. Also a safe way to lock the flywheel or pulley while removing and installing it. I used a tool from summit for this.
yea Im probably just gonna do a mail order tune from frost at lsxtune.com untill I can find a Dyno tuner that is somewhat close by NE ohio. The 6 1/2 hour drive to richmond doesnt sound too fun lol.
