Default Upgrades for spring '13 what little things do i need for my LE2 pkg

Soo far i only got the basic bolt ons, headers, catback lid and tune, also have but not installed yet brand new monster stage II clutch and tick master adjust.

Soo for income tax i'm getting the LE2 cam & heads. Now i was told all i need is a new timing chain, and verious gaskets now which timing chain do i need and what gaskets will i need for the install ? I know i'm getting comp cam hi tech pushrods but which size ?

also i was thinking about getting 1.7 ratio roller rockers, which ones are good ?

For injectors are the stock ones fine ? Also i'm considering a central racing parts s60 rear end and a strange driveshaft, i'm thinking about 4.10's and aprox what rwhp would you think i'd be at ? Thanks alot.

Ls2 timing chain is fine, get the reunion upgrade for the stock rockers, get bigger injectors, stock ones will be maxed out.

I was told the Ls2 timing chain is good. I heard the yellow terra 1.7's are good. Now i have half the people telling me the stock injectors are good and half no. Hp tuning will be involved after install will that make a difference or no get bigger ones ?

Get non adjustables, but I'd save a few hundred by getting the compcam trunion upgrade. You'll keep your valvetrain light too. If you want to resize your injectors that's a cheaper way too. I did it through this place for my build in my sig http://www.stiegemeier.com/injectors.html
Just my .2

ws6 store did not offer the 37lb I got them straight from racetronix. 37lbs will not be to big your tuner can always cut them back.

Ohh i thought i saw 37lb racetronix on the ws6store site. I see they have several different type injectors on racetronix site. Also do you know where i could find a used LS6 intake ?
