Default Finally have everything...almost

I finally have:
TR230 cam
918's
TR 7.4's
Texas Speed Oil Pump
LS2 chain
New set of Pacesetter LT's
Balancer install tool from Chris (Very nice tool)
More Performance valve spring compressor tool
TR cam swap gasket set
(getting your wifes family as well as your own to order you car parts for Christmas.....PRICELESS!!!)

I am going to swap out my headers tonight before starting on my cam, this will be my 2nd header install(installed my friends, hopefully mine will go as smooth as when i did his) My headers came with a spool of wire which i guess they are trying to get you to splice your 02's, i guess i need to order extensions?

I am undecided as far as what i am going to do with the exhaust. I will go with a Texas speed Y if i decide to go with a Y-pipe setup. I have also been thinking about taking it to a muffler shop and getting them to do a under-axle dual setup. I have 2 Dynomax Bullets laying around in the shop with one currently on the car with my SLP loadmouth.

Wish me luck and thankyou to everyone that has helped me out getting this all together. Any input or suggestions would be great.

i would opt for o2 extentions over splicing the wires. looks like you have everything other than that.

List looks pretty good. Definitely go for the O2 extensions, make sure you have a 24mm socket and big breaker bar, fluids, loctite, hi-temp rtv, anti-seize, new plugs, header gaskets and some beer should do it.

Another vote for the extensions. Speedinc usually has them on EBAY as a "Best Offer" auction. I got mine from them at $15.00 each.

Here is the current auction number: 140068138819

They are site sponsor, too.

BTW... kickin avatar.

Just an idea, if you pull the exhaust manifold off the car then start your cam swap you will have more room when you need to use your air hose to pressurize the cylinder for the valvespring swap. IE no exhaust tubes in the way of the hose and fitting.

Just curious why slicing isnt a good idea?? I mean if you can solder and use some shrink tubing to cover it. Why not save the 50 bucks, thats what im gonna do. I soldered sims into my rear 02's 2 years ago and they still work perfectly??
