Springs - PRC Dual Springs or Patriots???
Retainers - TI Retainers
Seats/Seals - Included In Kit
Push Rods - Hardened forgot the brand they use.. But 7.4" or 7.425?? I have searched that the 7.425" will quiet the valve train down a bit.
Reuse Stock Locks???
Separately

Get the LS2 kit with gears
Yes on new locks (but are in Patriot kit)
Stock LS6 pump or LQ4 is enough and plenty
You can get a gasket/bolt kit
7.425s p-rod
I prefer March pulley as it has better harmonic control.

Is there a difference between LS6 and SLP?
Where can i get the gasket/bolt kit from?

i wouldn't get the chain through a local dealer, I made the mistake of paying out the *** at a local dealer with mine. I think Scoggin dickey has then for like 30 bux.
the patriot kit comes with everything you need springs, locks, retainers, seats and seals. you can use the stock gear, I did and I have never had any isues.

You do not need a ported pump, those are overkill in most application unless you plan on going to past 7K rpm, which I doubt with your cam.
TSP
You heard wrong, I have 2 of them on on each car and the one on my Z's been there for 2+years. Good item with real dampening characteristics.

Got all the accessories from TSP
I orderd the LS6 ported and shimmed from TSP.. Just gives better oil pressure that is a good thing
I will buy and LS2 chain
Got the gasket from TSP too
still not sure on a pulley
what are the gains from this cam compared the the 228r?? thats the one i was going to get but if i could bump it up i will.. but this is my everyday car in the summer..

I have no idea what the gain is over the 228r. Well the fact that it is a split cam with the exhasut being bigger it will have a little more affect.

one more thing.. i know what the 110 is but whats the +4??
the +4 means that there is 4 degrees grounded into the cam, so when you go and install it, you can line it up dot to dot..

Eric.. My cam is a custom grind by Comp. There is a lot to learn why people grind it with it degreed. It helps a bunch of stuff. IE: TQ, HP DCR.
But i promise when i get it installed i will get sound clips
