I dont want to spend more than I have to but I also want to have a safe setup. I dont need to break anything.

springs and pushrods thats it your oil pump is new, t-chain is fine since its new also, locks and retainers dont really wear especially not with how new your truck is. My 180K 5.3 locks and retainers looked the same as my comp ones I put on except the oil residue obviously.

Alright, i just order the 918 springs and the 7.4 pushrods by comp. Now I need to find out where to get the cam for the best price.

Also, how about injectors. You think the ones that came with the radix are going to be sufficient? I dont know what my duty cycle was when I tuned.

Probably have to step up to 60s. Most max them out with a small pulley/cam.

I wouldn't do retainers and locks. Gaskets (water pump, front cover), new harmonic balancer bolt.

Think the only place you will find the cam is direct from LPE.

Ok, so i need the timing chain cover gasket, and also the water pump gaskets correct. What about valve cover gaskets?

Also, im awaiting the crank pin kit from magnacharger so I think that includes the new bolt that was spoken of above. I will wait to pin the crank until the cam is installed.

What do the rest of you think about the injectors? Where is the best place to find the ones ill need?

im sure if you run through all the sponsors to the right you will not have any trouble finding one that sells 60# injectors.
