Ill be ordering sometime soon, but I want to make sure I have EVERYTHING I need. So heres what im ordering ...

Comp Pro Mag 1.6's 7/16"
ARP 7/16's studs
GMPP Guide plate
LT4 Hot Cam Springs.
&
Valve Spring compressor.

Is there anything else that I could possibly need to do this? Poly Locks or anything ??? I never did RR's before so this one's a learning experience.

 

poly locks are nice but not needed are you doing a cam swap later down the road if so i would get a spring to better fit your cam choice instead of sinking money in lt4 springs like i did only have had them on the car about 4 months and have another set sitting in my room for the cam i choose

 

Thread sealer
Valve seals

 

Yea ... I know ... It sucks dont it. I will NOT be camming this car for a while. Im in the process of saving enough money to build a forged and blown 383, So I was going to just have a custom ground cam made then whenever I slap a D1SC on there. But it will be at least 2 years until I can dish out that kind of money on the car, and I want to do that all in one shot if i can that way I get the most from the tuning so ... Arent LT4 Hot Cam springs only like 40$-ish from GMPP though? So it wont be a complete waste of money as I'll be running a mostly bolt-on setup fora couple years. I want to slowly do suspension and drivetrain mods now, while still saving for the forged and blown 383, that way I dont get that put in there, and then kill my clutch/rear/driveshaft and !any-trace-of-traction

 

Would I really need valve seals? My car only has 14,XXX origional miles on it ... ?

 

Valve seals are pretty cheap if I remember, and they certainly won't hurt.

 

For the money all that is going to cost you, why not just get the hotcam kit? Probably wouldn't cost that much more. Also, the spring compressor I believe you can rent for free at Autozone.
