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.
