Shopping List

January is going to be a big month for the car, I just need some input on what all I'll need. I'll be picking up some LT's, 3.73's, and a gm847 cam. What should I get for the cam as far as springs, locks and all that, should I get new pushrods and lifters, or will stock suffice? I just don't wanna leave anything out, thanks guys!

hardened pushrods, springs, rockers, copper gaskets, o2 extentions, rear end girdle, headers, y pipe or true duals.

Copper EXHAUST gaskets, just to be specific. Y-pipe/duals depends on how easy or hard of an install you wanna do. I don't think the gains are much different. Everything else will also depend on your budget. Search around here for each thing and you'll get a wealth of knowledge.

Add to that: guideplates, felpro gaskets, injectors, TUNE, timing chain.

Yes, depends if they are limiting you or not. You'll have to check that when you get your tune. Might also want to look into some diagnostic software or a scanmaster.
