Default Modding list incomplete help me please

Ok I have a 2007 ls2 m6 car that I'm beginning to mod. The guy that was going to do my install and tune I'm losing confidence in when the guy tell me to ask someone else what parts I need. my goals are to be at 500rwhp n/a (just a goal not stuck on the number just want to be close) then a 100 shot of nitrous. BTW this is a budget car. My mods list is......
BTR LS3 HEADS
FAST 102 MANI LS3
BTR STAGE 4 CAM
TRUNION UPGRADE KIT BTR
MGW SHORT THROW SHIFTER
MANTIC TWIN CLUTCH
BTR 102 NITROUS KIT
That's what I got so far I know that I'm missing some small stuff. I don't know what length of pushrods I need or springs.

Underdrive crank pulley is a common mod for reducing the parasitic loss on the front of the motor.

I may not hit 500 that's just a goal not a set number I absolutely have to hit. you only get disappointed in your numbers if you're trying to reach something. I think with heads and the btr stage 4 I may get very close if not at 500 estimated and I only want to do a 100 shot without bottom end work.

Bottom end will hold the power just fine. ECS has many LS2 cars over 700rwhp on stock bottom end. RPM who built mine did a LS2 that is making 821 on stock bottom end. We are getting ready to turn ours loose with a supercharger and meth. Goal of 700+ without bottle

Also i could be wrong but that BTR cam probably comes with springs and pushrods. I know my RPM cam came as a kit. Included Brian Tooley pushrods and springs

Good set of heads and port match the fast 102 and you will be over 500whp w/ ALOT more power under the curve

Won't need a fuel system for 500whp......boost a pump will do.
Supercharger and meth system will be $6,000+ if you install it....

OP: Take a look at these two items http://store.katechengines.com/bille...sioner-p2.aspx & http://store.katechengines.com/dampers-c41.aspx Some CF members have had to replace the OEM unit due to excessive wobbles and product separation. If you plan on doing a cam install, then that would be a good time to install the ATI super damper, that way you could save on labor cost. If you are not planing on doing a cam install, then you could play the wait and see game with your current damper, which may last you the life of the car.

Good luck with your mods!
