Hey all! My ZLE is going in soon for a BTR Stage 2 PD Cam. I would like to hear others' thoughts on the supporting mods I already have, and some mods that I am considering. The goal of the car is 7,000-7200 RPM. It's a weekend warrior car that sees the occasional amateur track day; I just want the chop and a little extra spice up top. I drive pretty hard and don't want to worry much about heat soak (more on that down below in the mods I am considering). The car currently has a Rotofab big gulp, Kooks 1 7/8" LTH, a Corsa X-Pipe, and Corsa NPP exhaust.

The list of things I currently have are as follows:

-BTR Stage 2 Cam
-Katech Oil Pump
-ARP Harmonic Balancer Bolt
-ARP Head Studs
-CHE Trunnion Kit
-BTR Phaser Lockout (0 Degrees)
-BTR Pushrods (7.850")
-0.660" Lift BTR Platinum Springs/Retainers
-Johnson 2110R Lifters
-Katech C5-R Timing Chain
-LME Timing Chain Guide
-BTR Head Gaskets and Exhaust Manifold Gaskets
-CBI DOD/Oil Block Off
-Fast Fish Front Timing Cover Seal
-Chevy Performance Lash Caps
-All unlisted maintenance items such as new lifter trays, miscellaneous gaskets/bolts, etc. I have not listed them here as they are stock and don't want to make the list too lengthy.



The list of things I'm thinking about are as follows:

-Elite E2-X Catch Can; I feel dumb for not having a catch can already. Probably worth doing, right?
-Upgraded Harmonic Dampener (Is the stock one a reliability concern at 7k+ RPM? My builder/tuner doesn't seem to think it's necessary, but of course doesn't advise against it if it gives me greater peace of mind).
-Larger Lower Pulley (what size could I go with that wouldn't be too much to handle on stock heat exchangers? Is any size-up going to cause heat-soaking problems in a road-course context?)
-DSX Flex Fuel Kit; with the 38% fuel lobe on the cam, would I be able to run, say, E40 safely without the use of a voltage-booster for the fuel pump?

I'm open to hearing any suggestions. Thanks for reading!
