Few questions for a Stage II h/c setup I will be going with the ARE stage II h/c setup this year. Just have a few questions, keep in mind that I am a complete novice when it comes to this stuff. Also, I will be running a 150-200 wet shot through this setup and will have my PCM custom programmed. Will I need to buy forged/hardened pistons. Do I need to buy roller lifters, valve springs, titanium retainers. When does a "rocker kit" come into play, any certain advantages/disadvantages to this kit? Should I also replace the stock timing chain? What size injectors would be a good choice? I know there are a lot of questions, but any guidance would help.
Thanks

Re: Few questions for a Stage II h/c setup The heads will come with upgraded valvesprings and titanium retainers. You should also receive chromoly pushrods when you get the heads/cam package.
I'd recommend forged pistons and billet rods for the power level you are planning. A 200 shot on a heads/cam setup would put you around 600 rwhp. I sure wouldn't trust the stock rods or pistons at that level!
36-42 lb injectors for that much power.
stock lifters are just fine unless you have alot of miles. Less than 50K I'd leave them alone.
SLP sells a nice looking double-roller timing chain. Check out their new products section on their site.
