Cam Install, What else should I replace?

I'm about to have a cam install done on my car.

Basically here is what is getting put on:
230/230
Springs
Pushrods
Oil Pump
Timing Chain
All Gaskets
Crank Bolt
TR55s

My car has 80k on it, should I have anything else replaced while this is happening?

Thanks,
Dakota

You've got the main things. It wouldn't hurt to get better lifters, but that isn't mandatory.

i would defiantly replace the lifters, they are going to take more of a beating from the bigger cam, and to replace them you have to pull the head so i personally would not risk it with the 80000 lifters

also you got a pushrod length checker ?

The tuner I used requested new front O2s, new fuel filter, and a new or cleaned reusable air filter. I also purchased new LS7 lifters, new GM MLS 0.052 crushed gaskets, and ARP head bolts. Since I was there I also went ahead with new lifter trays.

I dont want to have to pay to have the heads pulled off the car so I guess I will risk it with stock lifters for now and replace then when I do heads.

Fuel filter will probably be a good idea.

I wont be doing it myself, The shop will measure PRs

Thanks Guys
