Cam Swap Parts, Missing Anything?
Heres my list of things to order within this week. Now I need to know if Im missing anything Important?
-TSP Cam
-Comp PRC Spring Kit w/ TSP Pushrods
-Rollmaster Double Roller Adj. Timing set
-TSP Ported Oil Pump
-New Cam Bolt, Misc. Gaskets.
I know there is a couple special tools I will need, but is there anything else I will really need for this?

Heads/Cam
Lifters - going to go with the Comp 850 O.E. replacements due to mileage. Doesn't hurt to do it while you're in there
TSP Pushrods
Timing Chain - probably go LS2
Oil Pump - TSP LS6
Injectors - TSP has recommended 30#, so that's what I'll run
Bolts/Gaskets - TSP sells a good kit that includes everything. I'm sure they have one tailored towards cam swaps as well.
I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting here.

Looks good, don't forget a new o-ring for the oil pick-up tube, all of the gaskets (probably already covered that in the Misc. Gaskets), and get all of the fluids you will need (Dexcool, Oil, Filters, etc)...

Who is doing your tuning? Usually the key is let your tuner suggest the injector, but we are running SVO Red Top 30lb/hr injectors also; so no complaints there. Also a good time to do the maintenance stuff like plugs and wires. Sounds like you guys know where you want to take your cars! Have fun!

I hope to have Gomer (Scott) here on the board tune it for me. He's a busy man though, so it might be hard to run him down and him have time to do it. I also plan to run 30#/hr, but haven't decided on a brand yet. SVO seems like good stuff though. New plugs and wires will be thrown in as well.
I'm ready to get this done! Thanks for the advice!!

If you drop the whole subframe it takes about two hours as opposed to two hours just working on the radiator with the engine in-car.
