I do, but i'm doing an automotive tech program an I'll have to pay for tools which im pretty sure the army is not gonna cover, So far i have my headers, cam, intake, heads, exhaust, pushrods, rockers and 02 extensions, the only thing i have left to collect is my head gaskets that are still on back order from thunder racing

That oil pump is a good idea, I was contemplating on whether to get one or not, i guess i sort of steered away from it cuz i didnt have that agressive of a cam so i figured i'd be okay. Do you think i should still get one?

Then i took them to Performance Coatings in Auburn to get them coated, I spent 285 on that, so for 335 bucks i got a set of coated longtube race headers. I'm going with a LPE GT2-3 its a smaller duration cam so it'll sound stock, but has quite abit of lift so it'll make awesome power. Don't get me wrong i like lopey cams but like i said before, this is my daily driver so i have to keep it reasonable. For my heads i went with a set of Patriot Stg. 1 LS6 heads with patriot gold springs, i think they'll work well with the cam. My goal is to have a stock sounding 400 rwhp car.
