Default h/c/i install

Me and a buddy are about to start a trick flow h/c/i build on my 95gt. I got a track heat intake used, and the cam and heads individually. I have a set of 24# injectors as well. What I'm wondering is what all am I gonna need to complete the install? Thanks guys.

Lol, thanks. I'm getting valve covers and gaskets, too. I have upper to lower intake gaskets. I know I need head and intake to head gaskets. Anything else I should get while I'm pulling everything apart?

New timing chain and gear since you're putting in a cam.

One thing different that kinda sucks is you'll need to get the upper intake elbow from trickflow to connect to your air intake tube. It's an extra hundred bucks on top of the price of the intake.

I'm thinking about getting the TF 360hp Track heat kit myself, but I want the stage 2 cam. I already have the stage 1.

I guess he could but I'm not sure how it'll all line up in the engine bay. Here's a pic of my engine. Keep in mine everything sits up about 3/4 of an inch higher because of the nitrous plate. Things get tight in a hurry around the throttle body/shock tower area.

Yeah. I have the stage 2 cam, and I already have the elbow, too. I'll let you guys know how it pans out.
