Question What else do I need with STG. II heads swap?

I'll be receiving my Stage II ported heads soon and was wondering what else I should replace with the swap? I'm still deciding on a cam (shooting for 400+RWHP). Do I need bigger injectors? New pushrods? Timing chain? What rockers should I get? I'm considering the TR 224/224 cam and was told not to use 1.8 rockers. Any advise/help is appreciated.

If you are doing a cam swap with it you'll need new pushrods. You won't need new rockers, the stock ones work fine. Don't forget all of your gaskets and the head bolts are one time use only.

It would be a shame to do the heads and not the cam at the same time. It only takes an extra hour to swap the cam out.

I have pictures of my install off my website so you can see what it should look like. When mine was all said and done I ended up with 403RWHP and 372RWTQ. TQ Is low due to large exhaust ports and 1 7/8 headers (on purpose).

I got a set from someone on LS1.com...they are Morgan Motor Sports Stage II, 11.1:1 CR! Should be good for 400+RWHP with a good cam.
