LS1 Heads/Cam Build

so the time has come. bottem end issue has been resolved and now its time to to start doin the Cam/Top end. ive been echanging PMs with a few members, but figured it be easier to have all info in 1 thread. so lets start...

Things i will need off the off the top of my head, please add whatever may be missing.

Heads(Got)
Cam
Timing Set
Pushrods
Lifters
Gaskets
Hardware(ARP stuff, right?)

i know im missing things, so lay it on me.

now come questions...

CAMSHAFT- car is going to be one of my daily Driven cars, so i dont want to have to worry about stalling out and not running, id like to be able to go and start my car everymorning and drive work. any recomendations for my cam? Heads are milled .030 with oversize intake and exhaust valves. dual rate springs good for up to a .625 lift.

TIMING- Comp Cams double roller set good? im on the verge of purchasing one off a member

PUSHRODS- since heads are milled, im gunna have to measure them so i know lengths. Comp Cams make ones to desired length correct ?

LIFTERS- Original Plan was LS7 lifters and Trays. But i have heard a both good and bad things about them, so what expirience do you guys have? am i going to be good with the LS7 units? because it would really help a lot not spending $450+ on Lifters...

GASKETS- Felpro Gasket kit, any objections?

more questions...

INJECTORS? upgrading them would be a wise choice correct? how do i go about choosing the right injector?

Oil Pump? Do i need a upgraded one of these?


thanks pretty much all i can think of right now... any help is greatly appriciated, also any added info is awesome.
