Am I missing something out of this setup?

It's been so long since I've worked with a thirdgen. After all that time building up the GT and smashing it into a wall, thought I'd revisit my past.

I've got a nice little 350 IROC-Z TPI of course, 87 going to beef her up a little bit with some bolt on's

Vortec Head Kit from SDPP $1,269.95
(Kit Includes Vortec cylinder heads #SD8060A, head gaskets, head bolts, rocker arms, SDPC TPI Vortec Intake Manifold #12498060, intake gaskets and 12 point intake bolts
Pushrods
Lifters
Cam
Port & Polished Intake & Plenum

Am I forgetting something in my vavle train? I haven't selected all the part manufactorers, but I'm trying to think of all the parts I'll need.

And I can't recall. And I don't own a single book

That kit INCLUDES the intake manifold too? That's a pretty good deal...

Might want to get a new timing chain while you're in that general area.

I know this isn't the valvetrain, but, don't forget about the fuel delivery too. I'd pick up some bigger injectors and a higher gallon/hr fuel pump, with an AFPR, to tune that baby. And of course you'll need to swap the MAF for one compatible with the larger injectors.

That's excatly what I was talking about! Thanks.

Those little things totally slipped my mind, I would have ordered these tonight and been F*&*#^$ come next weekend.

I'll add injectors, timing chain and the AFPR to the list.
