Default time to order just a couple questions

okay so i am finally ready to order all of my parts.
but i have a couple questions to ask before i order all of the stuff.

first off i will say my truck is a 99 gmc sierra 5.3 z71 with a 4l60.

at first i was planning on going with the ht1 cam but i have decided instead to go with the tr220.

With the first cam i was told that i need this list of parts.
ls7 lifters
GM Performance Parts 12499225 - Lifter Kit, Gen III Engines, Set of 16 | SDParts - 1-800-456-0211
ls6 springs
GM Performance Parts 12499224 - Valve Spring Set, GM LS2, LS3, LS6, Set of 16 | SDParts - 1-800-456-0211
7.400 push rods
Manley Performance Parts 25735 - 7.400 Stock Length LS1 Manley Pushrods | SDParts - 1-800-456-0211
double roller timing chain
N Motion LS2/LS3/L76/L92 Double-Roller Timing Set

okay so first i would like to just make sure these are all of he right parts that i need and if anything else is needed.

i already have me a pair of headers there shorty but i got them as a gift so they will have to due for the time being.

next i would also like to ask what size stall would be good for this set up.

so if i could please get some responses it would be great i really want to order everything by this weekend.

If your doind lifters you need to get haedgasketa and head bolts. If your going that deep might as well do lifter trays too

If i were you I would try to sell the shorties and get a set of longtubes, pacesetter have nice ones that are really budget friendly. I felt a big difference from the JBA shorties to my pacesetters Lt, really nice. If I had the extra cash at the time I wouldve got the Stainless works.

? Is how many miles are u at? If u are over 100k then I would add some things like valve stem seals, updates timing chain, new water pump, and just because u are at it already with the lifters and the heads are coming off then update the valley Pan to a LS6 style with the oil baffle to help stop oil in the intake . Just my two cents. Because u will already have the accesorys off and those parts most of them will go sooner then later

I would recommend at least lifters, lifter trays, and I would look into an oil pump as well.

no need for the double roller timing chain. The LS2 chain will work great. valve stem seals, oil pump. And I would not run the TR220 with LS6 springs. but thats me.
