no its not complete, you need to order the heads and cam swap kit....it comes with all the necessary items. What stage 5.3 liter heads did you order if you got the 2.5 you should net a little more than 430

I got the same package just got the torquer II dyno'ed it yesterday and put down 441 on a mustang dyno with an A4, so you should be 450-460 range w/M6.
Overall putting it in wasn't that bad, had a few issue here and there. But I did it on jack stands with my wife. I used ls1howto.com, here the link if you need it http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=2 they have a kick azz write-up!!!!

Good luck

the heads and cam swap kit.... its the package you need to get to have all the necessary bolts and gaskets and you might want to consider running colder plugs. Tr6 i believe ppl have been having detonation issues with the tr55

Shooter the onlything keeping me from 450 RWHP is I have a LS6 manifold and a home ported throttlebody and Moser 12 bolt 3.73. so that should eat a good 15-20 RWHP.. vs me having a 10 bolt, fast 90/90. etc..
