i would highly recommend you upgrade your entire valvetrain with running those cams, considering you will be visiting 9k with a tune. dont forget to tune. you may also be interested in upgrading your intake and exhaust system. good luck.

HONDRETTI why would he be at 9k? I had a built LS a while back with 404's and never went to 9k. big cams don't always equal revving very high.

OP-, spring, retainers, IM, injectors possibly, better header and larger/better flowing exhaust, and most importantly a TUNE. REad the All motor forum and speak with people in there. Good luck bro and enjoy it.
