atleast 600 lift springs, hardened pushrods, ls2 timing chain if not a double roller. ls6 ported oil pump with new oring, atleast 3200 stall, and 3.73s plus a tune. if you want the set up strong and to full potential add arp rod bolts, double roller chain, arp head bolts, ls7 lifters, new lifter trays.pm me any quesions.
Sorry for the thread jack but Where are you getting your cam at? sounds like a decent spec. i was looking for something around that size for my next cam. whats your intent? N/A, spray, FI?
Like above..are you planing on using nawwzz or staying all motor..You wont really need new lifters unless you have a lot of miles on the car, skip head bolts with a cam only, Its all good yes but not a have to thing right now. oilpump yeah might as well your there..

I like a lower LSA so power comes in sooner and peaks earlier so you don't have to spin so hard on that stock bottom but it will require a nuts on tune. A 3600- 4000 stall if you are A4 will work better with that cam and also I would run more spring. A PAC 1518 or a good double will last a long time set up at the correct installed height. If you are ever planning a UD pulley now is the time....
Forget the trays, lifters and head bolts for now since it sounds like the heads are staying on the car on for now. Rod bolts Are a PIA to drop the k member to do so I would pass on this too for now....
