Hello group... I just bought all my parts I think... I have an 88 coupe 5.0
auto.. I put 373's in already, a shift kit  and off road exhaust... I was
going to spray it but instead I bought gt40 heads & intakes trickflow stage
1 cam double timing chain bbk equal length shortys mac pulleys and
adjustable fuel reg... am I missing anything else before I install
everything??? are roller rockers a big improvement?? I just need to know
what else I need (If anything) so I dont have to go back inside the motor a
week later! Thanks

Unless this '88 5-oh is a California car, it's running speed density.
So if you want to use an aftermarket cam, you'll have convert to
mass-air, or suffer an idle that hunts.  Trust me... with the cam
you'll want to switch to mass-air.

Roller-rockers, while not a big HP maker, are always a good idea.

If you have any more questions, just ask.

I would talk to Trick Flow about their cam with your GT-40 heads/intake
to see if it's a good match.
