383 stroker prep.

Ok my 94 Camaro Z28 Lt1 engine decided to eat the crapper. Locked up and won't move. So i've already purchased a Lt1 383 stroker that has 450+ HP. I know next to nothing about engines, so I could use all the help I can get. What all do I need to do to get this engine installed and running efficiently? New fuel injectors? torque converter? (my tranny is an A4) Pcm tune? I'm really not sure about any of this so if any would come please help i would greatly appreciate it.

What specifically comes with the new engine? What are the specs on the heads and cam? Might want to post a link to a website that shows what's included with it and what isn't. If you don't have this info, get it from whomever you bought the engine from.

To run 450HP, you will need larger than stock injectors. You may need a bigger fuel pump. The PCM will need to be programmed, and the programmer will need to know the cam specs and the injector size, plus a lot more stuff. The mail-order tuners that are Supporting Vendors on this site have questionaires that will tell you exactly what info they need to do a program.

What are you using for an exhaust system? What do you have in the way of a cold air intake?

Aluminum heads with 3 angle valve job .600 max lift valve springs. Lightly ported on exhaust, pocket ported under valve head, and gasket matched on the intake side. Custom ground cam, 230/236 duration @.050 with .540 lift on intake and .550 on exhaust. Competition Cams 1.6 Ratio Roller Tip Rockers.
Thats whats done to the heads and the cam. So what all would need to be done? to get it running in top condition?
