About to order H/C what am I missing?
About to order H/C what am I missing? Long post Inc, I apologize ahead of time. Ive read the stickies, Ive used search, I just want to make sure everything is covered and there are no surprises when its time for install.
Car and mods as it sits now are:
01 Formula Firebird M6, Pacesetter LTs, TSP ORY, Moroso SpiralFlow then dumped. Fast 92/92, FTRA, Lid, SVO 42s, Walbro 255 pump. Strange S60 rear w/ 4.10s, Springs, Shocks, Sways, SFC's, LCAs, PHB. Car has been tuned and put down 341rwhp/354rwtq
Parts planned for the swap:
TSP PRC stg 2.5 5.3 heads unmilled with PRC dual springs (.660)
Pat G custom cam, 227/231 .6xx"/.6xx" 113+4
7.450" pushrods
LS7 lifters
TSP LS6 ported and shimmed Oil pump
GM basic head/cam bolt & gasket kit with ARP head bolts, GM MLS head gasket, GM Front seal, water pump gasket, and Timing Cover Seal
Im unsure what timing chain to get. Pat said the advance was ground into the cam, so theoretically it could just be lined up and installed w/o degreeing it but its always good to verify the ICL. If that"s the case I should just get an LS2 timing set correct? If not I need to get an adjustable set to degree in the cam during install, what is recommended? Other than the timing set, does anything look out of place or am I missing something?
Thanks

If you've got the tools to verify the valve events, you might as well get an adjustable timing set. Without it, you're helpless when it comes to adjusting when/where needed! Don't forget the oil pump o-ring!

Unfortunately I dont not have the tools
, nor would my apartment complex appreciate me doing that work in the parking lot. My good friends at Gforce will be taking care of the work for me as well as the tune.
-Matt what timing set would you recommend?

I'd go with the Rollmaster set
