Default what next?

I bought some ls1 fans on ebay last night. I called allen today and got a 02 pcm and the fan harness. The only other bolt on i can think of is a set of ud pulleys. Then a cam and new verter i guess. I have about decided on the tr224 w/ 112 lsa (Il buy the kit from TR with the cam that comes with everything i need) and either a yank 3k or 3200. I might go ahead and do a new timing chain, any recomendations for this? After the cam/stall i should have a pretty quick z71. Im not too concerned about 1/4 mile times and i prolly wont even run it at the track, i just want a fun dd 4x4, lol.

I am doing a similar setup, but my cam will be the tr220 and a 3k stall. Perhaps a little n2o? Or maybe a shift kit.

Dude, if your gonna do a stall convertor to your truck do your transmission a favor and put a shift kit with a vette servo in it along with a 24,000BUI or larger cooler on it.
The shift kit will help enlongate it's life not hurt it.
The cooler will keep the trans temps down that will come from the stall.
Not to mention the stall itself will make your shifts feel softer due to the slipping that it will allow to reach a 3000 stall speed.
