Ported High flow Oil Pump- good
True Dual Mufflers
Headers..Hooker??? you will get various opinions on these, i have pacesetters, i like them, if you got money go with kooks, either way, get coated or stainless
LS6 Intake good
LS7 Lifters didnt replace mine, but good insurance
LS2 Lifter Trays ditto
Valves...What Size??? if you got stock heads and decent mileage, i wouldnt worry about new valves
Gaskets def going to need new gaskets
Bolts i went with arp, can reuse them studs or bolts, little pricey, can't reuse gm tty[/B]
Now for the good part..My Cam selection is gonna be the Trqr 3 Cam from TSP..But im on the leery side cuz it is a DD car..What do you guys think??..Also if you could help me out with the valve sizes that would be great.. i have the 228r and and happy with it DD, you can't go wrong with most of the tsp cams. pushrods 7.4 length, you might as well go with one of their packages (cam, springs, pushrods), you're def. going to need springs.
Also what thickness gasket to run?..What size Pushrod? 7.4...And the difference between ARP Head Bolts or GM ones..Kinda confused on torque and ****..put it above, but arp can be reused after torqued. The gm are torque to yield, meaning once they have came off your gonna need to buy new ones. i suggest if you plan on heads in future go with arp studs or bolts,

You better get the strongest springs you can afford with that much lift, and even then, you will be changing them ever 10-20K miles. As far as being a DD, make sure your stall is matched well with it. The Torquer2 would be a better choice for a DD IMO. Just talk to one of the guys as TSP and they can point you in the right direction.

T2 would be a safer bet for a DD. It will also be easier to tune.
