Coolant
Oil
Tools & Breaker bar
in/lb and ft/lb torque wrench
Head gasket kit (GM)
Frong engine cover gasket (GM)
Exhaust manifold gaskets (Felpro)
Chromoly Pushrods <-- good idea for fast ramp cam
Timing Chain <-- Good idea if yours is old
Spark Plugs <-- might as well
Patience <-- Your going to NEED it
And definately another method of transportation while your car is down to run to the parts store, and just in case your car takes a little longer than planned.

a lot of patience. i dont know if all my recent problems are due to the power pack but i know i did not have them before the power pack. the guys here who have the pack dont seem to have my same problems, but then they have more invested into thier cars than i do.
yes my car runs with the power pack, but i have been told by many people that i need headers and now a better fuel pump to compliment the pack- to get rid of other problems that have come up. but like i said, i have no idea if this is caused by the power pack or not. it just so happens everybody else already has these things.
oh you definately need the maft+ or somehow to reprogram the pcm. people will say you dont, but i am talking from experience. you will be running rich with the power pack alone. and soon after you will be fouling your plugs running so rich. my fresh plugs lasted 2 months. again i dont know if this was caused by the power pack, but i only have 33000 miles and never had this happen before.
so i definately agree with patience.6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.Comment
