What else do I need for this setup? I've currently got the performance stuff listed in my sig below installed and as of today's UPS dropoff the cam, headers, and ORY waiting to be installed. I hadn't planned to buy the uninstalled stuff quite this soon, but the deals came along and I jumped on 'em. My question now is what else am I going to need to complete this installation.
* Can I get an adequate custom tune for my Predator or am I gonna have to shell out the $$$ for LS1-edit or the like?
* New valve springs required for the MS3? Other valvetrain parts?
* Gonna need O2 sims now?
* Anything else I'm missing?
I know that at some point I need to move up to a decent higher-stall torque converter, but I really don't want to get into dropping the tranny any more this year. My goal here is to be fast while remaining reliable and 100% streetable on a daily basis. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent

With that cam your'e gonna need some nice dual springs, retainers, pushrods, timing chain and all that jazz. That's a real beefy cam to run on a stock stall (would probably suck to drive) and a tune would be huge also.
