Default LPE GT2-3 Cam swap info

I've searched, but still have some questions. I've ordered GT2-3 Cam kit with valve springs, and Comp Cam 7.400 pushrods from LPE. Also, the 10% Overdrive balancer from Innovators West with a pin kit and a new crank bolt, and two tools from thunder racing, a spring compressor and the tool to keep lifters up while im pulling the cam out. I have 2.9 pulley on the Radix as well. My only question is:

1. Am I missing something that I should do while im in there? The motor has 10k miles on it, and its a '03 LQ9

Thanx

Interesting, what diameter pulleys are you running? I have 2.9 Radix, and will have 10% Overdrive crank that I will put on at the same time as the cam..

If those are stock heads, the optimal PR length is 7.425", although you can still get away with 7.400" - you'll just have a little less lifter preload.
