Do you have automatic or a stick? If auto - do you have a stall convertor? You will need one with that cam.

Well the kit you got looks good but id go with a ls2 timingchain instead of the double roller and id go with a ported and shimmed ls6 oil pump from texas speed. Also where are you located? If you are close to a sponsor on this board id let them do it.

I am curious as to why you are lowering the LSA from the standard 111? I have no clue about these LS marvels
