I agree with that guy^^^

Get an ARP crank bolt instead of stock...it's about $20 more, but it's worth it...everything else looks good.

Don't forget shorter belts for that U/D pulley.....Byunspeed was having a deal for $215 for Powerbond pulley with both belts...not sure if they are still doing it, but that would be a better option.

I'd go with the harland sharp stock rocker rebuilds....but since I don't have cores and downtime I'm going with yella terras or the harland sharp myself. I wouldn't buy injectors unless you learned you needed them during the tune.

Also what about lifter trays? If you have a lot of miles its a good idea to replace them.

A GOOD TUNE!

I can't stress that enough...I'm not sure where you are located...but don't be afraid to trailer your car somewhere to know it's done right. U-haul can rent trailers and trucks if you don't have one or your friends don't.

It will cost more...but it is well worth it in the end. I know a lot of people who went the cheaper route and ended up getting screwed. So just do your research and use this site..we will all help as much as we can.

Yeah a full tune is for sure needed IMO after heads and cam, but I see a lot of people getting canned tunes......I just don't quite get that, spend 2000 in parts and not pay the extra 500 for a good tune?
