Got the cam picked out. What else do I need? I'm wanting to get a cam ground from Comp at 228/232 111 LSA +3
I know I'll need new springs, pushrods, and lifters. What else should I consider?
What is a trunion upgrade and should I get one?
It's an M6 with 134k, but it's well maintained. Additional mods listed in sig.

I'd get a new timing chain/gear set, oil pump, the trunion bearing up-grade on the stock rocker arms, new lifter trays, ARP head bolts, head gaskets, a clean-up mill on the heads or also have them ported, Water pump gaskets, front timing cover gasket and crankshaft seal, and at least 36 lb but preferably 42 lb injectors.
Id also get poly motor mounts if you don't already have a set installed.

That sounds like a good cam for street, I think ^^ He nailed already, most likely oil pump and timing chain while your there, Injectors and ported heads are more likely if you can afford them but they are strongly recommended to maximize the power out of it but more important, a tune and a good clutch like an LS7 or a Monster LVL 2 cause if you have the stock one is gonna start failing once you start stepping on it.
I did poly mounts with headers, so that's out of the way. I plan on AI ported 243s and bigger injectors down the line. I'll get the clutch when the time comes (planning on Monster Stage 2). I assumed a tune went without saying.
I'll add new seals/gaskets, etc. Oil pump, lifter trays, and head bolts are all on the list now as well.
Thanks guys!

I might be totally off base with my analogy, but I don't think so.
