Default Springs, titanium retainers, etc

Where is the cheapest place to buy these? Heard the patriot golds are pretty good, but i heard one of my friends got them for $200 shipped. Anybody know a good place to buy them at for cheap, or anybe another brand thats good? Lookin to buy cam and dual springs/titanium retainers/hardened seats/pushrods/seals for around $700 or less, the cam will be a MS3 from Texas Speed.

So if i get this, i'll be fine?

From Texas-Speed:

-TSP MS3 cam = $389.99
-Basic cam bolt and gasket kit = $43.99
-Texas Speed & Performance Custom Chromemoly 7.40" Pushrods = $109.99

total plus shipping and tax = $599.64

From speed inc:

-Partiot "Gold" .650" Lift Dual Spring Kit = $283.49 (after shipping)

So a grand total of $883.13. Anything else i'm forgetting about or anything i don't need? Might look for a used ported LS6 oil pump too.

I can supply you all of those items for $672.95+ shipping which should be right about 700.00.
TEA gold .650" lift springs = 104.00
TEA titanium retainers = 95.20
Hardened spring cups=31.20
New Gm valve locks=33.60 or you can use your old ones!
New Gm valve stem seals= int & exh 33.95
Comp cams Custom grind of your choice 375.00
These components are the same that we use in all of our standard 5.3 and ls-6 assemblies.

What kind of CAM would you reccommend for my set up? (see sig)...I have FORD SVO 30# injectors waiting to be pu on as well, moving from 125 shot to 150 shot and a VIG 3200.
This will all of course be with a dynotune.

Mike, that sounds like a good deal =) do you think the size of that cam (237/242 .603/.609 113 lsa, or maybe 112 lsa?) would be fine for a setup like mine until i get some better heads and rear? I'll be gettin a rear in the future with some 4.10's or maybe 4.30's. Also do you guys do mail order tunes? The places around here kinda suck and i know one of my friends sent his to texas speed and they did a good job. Hoping you guys could do the same!
