Default It all goes in tommorow....

Well I finally called up a shop to get my car in to have my new set up put in. I was so damn busy with wrestling that I haven't had the time, state was last weekend so now I'm done for a while and its all going in. The whole deal is:
LE2 Heads
LE2 Intake manifold
22x/23x Custom Grind Cam
Comp Pro-Magnum 1.6 NSA Rockers
Comp Pro-Magnum Push Rods
GM 3.73's
SLP 36lbs Injectors
Vig 4400 Stall Converter
TransGo Shift Kit
MadZ28 tune
LPP Headers and Y pipe
B & M Tranny Cooler
LS7 Lifters
All the gaskets Lloyd Elliot recommended

Anything else that I should buy iin the meantime to have put on?

Hoowee that's a whole lot of stall! Looks like you have everything mostly covered, but at this point you could probably benefit even more from an electric water pump and a 58mm throttle body.

wow thats alot of stall hope it's not over kill. If she hooks and you have descent torque up in the rpm's you stall you just might air out that front end. Good luck with the install keep us informed.

Or you could build your 10 bolt...

There are guys with axle tube supports and the rest of the goodies running 500+ through a 10-bolt

You dont have to worry to much in an auto, I have had plenty friends go 10s with their 10 bolts on auto cars. Six speed, which his car isnt, I have had friends break them with cam only LT1s.
