Just making sure I got everything I need...

Ok, I'm about get some work done on my car and was wondering if you guys could check and see if theres anything else I needed, because I feel like I'm forgetting something... Ok I'm doing a Heads and Cam swap and headers. Heres what I have.

AI Full Port LT1 Trickflow heads(Ti Retainers and 977 springs)
AI Cam
AI's high performance Valvetrain kit
Ported Stock Intake
58mm TB
LT4 Timing chain
Pacesetter Longtubes and Y pipe for good measure
O2 ext and simms.
gaskets
Getting Tuning and everything done by Jeff at CAM
... uh.... Thats all I can remember. All this stuff also thousands of miles away right now so I may not have remembered everything (being in the desert blows)...

Anyways, if theres anything I missed please let me know. Any guesses on power would be nice too. I haven't seen any #'s with Trickflows yet so I'm kinda curious. Closest guess gets uh... some Iraqi Sand! (Got plenty of that)

How many miles does you have on your stock lifters? If they're higher mileage, you may want to consider replacing them with Comp Cams R lifters. Also a high mileage timing chain and gears would warrant replacing.

You didn't list these but I'm sure you thought of them: coolant, oil, RTV (for intake), teflon tape (for vacuum fittings going into intake), and oh yeah. . . lots of bandaids. Not having these little things can make ya take that extra trip to the store and take up more time . Good luck.

What would you consider high mileage? I have been throwing around the idea of replacing lifters while I am in there. My car has around 68,000 miles and I am getting ready to do the same thing... see the list below.

I'd put new lifters in with 68K, they're not that expensive and think of the labor to open it back up to replace the lifters if one fails.

Re: Just making sure I got everything I need...

Yeah I have the oil, coolant, RTV and teflon tape and everything. Has anyone seen any numbers off the trickflows? I tried searching for it, but couldn't find any ported #'s. I have Comp Pro magnum lifters for it coming. So I guess I'm good to go then eh?
