Australian HSV 2SS engine info HELP!!!

Hey team first post hopefully it’s in the right thread, really hoping for some info on some issues with the car.

Unfortunately after doing all the possible causes of a loud ticking noise Eg, checking plugs, exhaust manifold leak, etc etc
I’ve came to terms with it has definitely dropped a lifter after seeing the shards of metal in the oil.

As there isn’t many Camaro or LT1 specialists in Australia (except KPM) who are in a different state I’m really finding it difficult to get the right info on what to do about repairing it & finding anyone confident in recommending the right combination in cam/fuel pump (if needed) / stall converter etc etc.

So the car currently has these performance upgrades and makes just over 500HP
• Magnusson 2300 blower
• kooks 2 inch stainless headers to high flow cats & 3 inch mild steel cat back exhaust
• -10% reduction on the pulley
• custom tune
The car is also an automatic transmission.

I have been recommended by phastek
COMP CAMS STAGE 1 LST HYDRAULIC ROLLER MASTER CAM KIT, 227/238 2016-2021 CAMARO SS

Which I am happy to buy, just wondering if anyone had used this cam kit & if a stall converter was necessary, also if a fuel pump upgrade and injectors where needed?

I’m not chasing max horsepower I’m happy with the power it made before the lifter shit itself, just want the best combination with the blower & motor before I order from the states as shipping will be a killer.

Any info that people have with similar setups would be awesome.
Thanks heaps guys & gals
