Default Installing cams, Cobra Brakes,tb/plenum,gears and maybe niitrous this weekend

Well it is finally time for some boost in power. I have finally got all of the parts needed to do this. Except for the fuel pump and fuel rail adapter for the nitrous setup. Im putting some Comp Comp Cams stage 2 cams that are degreed. Also Im installing comp cams valve springs. Next up is Cobra brakes front and rear. Its going to have drilled and slotted rotors, hawk hps pads, and russel stainless lines. I thought since Im gonna have the rear end apart when doing the rear brakes, I might aswell upgrade to 4.10s from whatever the stock ones are. I am also installing a professional products tb/ plenum that ive been working on sice it was used. Cleaned up some burs and what not in it. Do you guys have any suggestions for me thatll make all of this easier to install? Thanks. Ill post pics after everything is installed.

Very cool! I bet those cams will respond very well to the nitrous since they're kind of an all around speced grind.

Probably 50 or 75 until I get it tuned. Then 125.

It needs to be tuned for cams, so why not just get it tuned for the 125 shot while it's there?

Putting brakes on the rear is no where near putting 4.10's in it..

How exactly did you degree the cams, without them being in the car? I am confused on this one especially.

What do you mean by this?
"Im putting some Comp Comp Cams stage 2 cams that are degreed" you degree your cams after they are in the car.
Do yourself a favor and tackle only one project at a time don't start on the brakes than start on the cam job before the brake upgrade is done
