Stock LS cams won't make any power at 8k , and the stock LS valve springs will float before that so it's pointless...

Skip the intake manifold, and cam gears. Cam gears are used to advance the timing, and with n20 thats BAD. Or if you leave them in netural youll be fine but, it would be a waste of money for that 1hp gain. The skunks2 manifold is about 8hp, which isnt worth the 400 price tag. Stick to a good set of cams, headwork(p&p), stiffer springs and retainers, and tuning. With that and the right cams power could be made at 8k, but the stock bottom end wont last. The ls rod ratio is not made for 8k....

cam gears are used to advance CAM timing, not ignition timing, they're totally different, and if you have cams it's likely you'll need adj gears.

The skunk2 manifold is PROVEN hp, and WELL worth it's tag. However it is not 400 bucks. More like 300-350. Don't port and pollish your head, Honda heads flow well enough.

Crower cams make GREAT power with LS's

Valve springs, valves themselfs don't really need to be mest with unless your going turbo or nitrous, just springs and retainers are primarily needed

You need cams, retainers, and springs.

oversized valves are GREAT for N/A, but not so great for FI.

In fact, most companies recommend you do not get oversized valves for FI applications.
