Contact Lou at LGM. For only him and a mysterious handfull poeple know the exact specs and can advise you on the valvetrain for sure
IMO, 7.4 prods, dual springs, Ti retainers etc..., Double roller chain, LS6 ported pump, (The usual)

Hey i'd get the gold springs from tsp, stock length pushrods, mines an m6 and its not to bad for driveability, need to slip the clutch from a stop on stock gears, you should make around 400 with all the bolt ons

There is a fairly NEW hand held programmer on the market VHP/Crane, that has a lot more than Predator. Kind of like a mini edit. Lets you adjust for fuel, injectors, delete TM, 4 cam range basic tunes, fuel and timing changes, raise idle etc.... GP for $419.00 at Vinci's.
I'm getting one because there is no tuner here either, all tuning has to be done by me and this programmer is pretty handy I think.
