Sunset Orange Metalic- 2001 Camaro SS
My Heads/Cam build
Been getting parts here and there for a while and finally getting real close to install.
Basic Heads and Cam, nothing too crazy
Think i got just about everything but any and all input would be great
Here's What i got so far
CNC'd 243s
BTR .660 Platinum Springs w/ Titanium Retainers
BTR SLR Lifters
EPS 230/238 .600/.603 112+3 LSA
ARP Pro Series Rod Bolts
ARP Balancer Bolt
Summit OE Rockers
Comp Rocker Arm Trunion Upgrade
Melling High Pressure Oil Pump
TrickFlow Timing Chain Adapter Bracket w/ LS2 Damper
LS2 Timing Chain
LS2 Lifter Trays
New Crank Seal, Rear Main Seal, Rear Cover Gasket, Timing Cover Gasket, MLS Head Gaskets, Oil Pan Gasket, and Valve Cover gaskets
Dropping the K-member to install a UMI tubular one at the same time
Left on my list is ARP Head Bolts and Pushrods, still have to measure for length.
Newer fuel injectors are on the list but holding off on those for the moment until tuning time comes around.

Fuel pump? Do you have an aftermarket one?
Looks good to me. Just be sure you get ARP's thread chasers for the head bolts so you clean them out. That way you don't crack the block upon assembly.
I would also recommend either arp thread locker or locktite for use on the crank bolt.
Your set up looks just like mine except I will be going to a 393 stroker and no cnc'd heads yet, hopefully soon though. You are probably going to need at least 42# injectors I would think for your mods.1998 Trans Am WS6 - Phantom

All stocked up on thread lock, and assembly lube. Going to pick up thread chasers at the local tool shop around here. Still on the fence on what injectors I'm going to use.

Will, not sure which ones you're talking about. Been to the site before but the link you posted isn't working.
Scott, I'll look into those. Still have some time to look it all over.
As far as numbers go, we'll see when she goes to the dyno.

Spoke with my tuner today and he recommended racetronix injectors, says he has had a good luck with them over other brands. Will look into them further but i trust his judgment so might end up going with those. Also forgot to mention i already run the ractronix fuel pump/wire kit.
Also got a little bored so figured i'd snap a couple pics of the heads assembled with the BTR kit because pics are always good

42lbs @ 58 psi
A set of take offs runs around $100 but i still need spacers to get the right height, harness adapters, and a set of o-rings.
Being oem gm injectors there shouldn't be a problem tuning with them
