Default OK anything else
I should get my car back next week (they have had it for a month). I am having a TR224 112lsa cam installed, ported ls6 oil pump, new timing chain, 243 CNC heads with valve job, ferra (I think i spelled it right) valves. The springs and pushrods were part of the TR cam package. I would like to make the most of my set up. I know I can by a fast intake (I have a LS6 now) and polished TB for a few extra ponys. Can anyone think of anything else that I would want done before I get the car dynotuned.

If you still have your stock injectors you should replace them when you get your tune.

Some other things you could do are injectors like another one said, pulley, roller rockers, cosmetic gaskets for more compression, and of course the Fast 92mm intake/NW 90mm tb.

head gaskets can move the compression up a little. Eliminate air conditioning....

The problem is your stock injectors will be maxed out with your new combo. Since you can't change injectors without getting the car re-tuned now is a good time to do it. I brought them with me when I got tuned so my tuner installed them and then set the tune for them correctly.

You probably can go with the ford racing 30# injectors (which flow 36# in an f-bod due to higher fuel pressure than a mustang). I would tell your tuner all your mods and see what he suggests for injectors.

I got my injectors from SDPC:
