Default Head/Cam install

OK I finally got my "can cutter" running (blown head gasket) and now getting ready for the FUN to start on the vette. Current set up is:
2003 LS6 crate engine
LG Street Headers
Vararam CAI
Hotchkiss sways
Bilstein HD shocks

Here is the install and what I have so far:
215 AFR's
lifters
Magnum hardened pushrods
Custom grind Comp cam (222-224 dur 566-568 lift on 112)
Adjustable Single roller timing set
ARP head bolt set
ARP cam bolt set
ARP harmonic balancer bolt (on back order)
ATI underdrive balancer
MSD wires
a/c plugs
gaskets

To order:
Two piece timing cover
42 lb duty injectors
and whatever stuff i may need for install or decide i want







I hope to get started next weekend. I am sure I will have some questions along the way.

I had the current set up tuned and dyno tested awhile ago so i'll be able to have "before" and "after" results,

My 'head and cam' install mutated into a 408 stroker. Be careful.

Appreciate it. I certainly will. I just finished installing heads on my F-body. It went slow but I considered it my practice run.
