Default Ordered some new parts today :)

Well i talked to jon at tsp a week or so ago and was pleased with what he told me so i placed an order with him today.First off i got the
-stage 2.5 5.3liter heads.
-The magic stick 3 cam.
-The ported ls6 oil pump.
-The ls2 timing chain.
-Racetronix fuel pump and hotwire kit.
-Fast 36# injectors.
-Gm bolt and gasket kit.
-Chromoly pushrods.

Also am going to order a clutch so need some peoples opinions. I am hoping to make around 450 hp. I was thinking a spec 3+ CLUTCH. New slave and resufaced flywheel and all arp bolts. What do you guys think of this setup and some track times i might be able to see.The car already has an ls6 intake,hooker long tubes,ory, magnaflow exhuast and a 3.73 gear.

I will likely be ordering a similar set of parts from Texas Speed in the next month or so. How much did you pay for everything? I'm curious as my estimates were right under $3,000.

Price breakdown:
- PRC 5.3L stage 2.5 heads (inc. double valve spring, titanium retainers) - $1200
- camshaft, hardened pushrods - $500
- timing chain (ls2/double adjustable) - $36/$130
- ported ls6 oil pimp - $140
- gaskets - $150-$200
- walbro 255lph fuel pump - $100
- fuel injectors (30lb./hr. or 42 lb./hr.) - $300
- tuning - $275

Total: $2700+ in parts

I am also most likely going to go with the Magic Stick 3. Post up pictures please. Will you be installing this yourself or having a shop do the install? Post up dyno numbers too please. Let me know how it idles and if possible an audio/video clip. I assume you will be getting it tuned too. Thanks a million.
