Don't do the LT1 Hotcam. There are better camshafts out there for that kind of money.

Best way IMHO is take it to a dyno shop and let them tune the computer. Cheapest way is to use something like PCM4Less and order a new PCM with your cam, and other mods listed.

have a look here for the lt1. alot depends on if you are using 1.6 roller rockers. if so you will need to measure your pushrods and pick up some new ones.
Patriot Performance Valve Springs, Locks, and Retainers from Thunder Racing

i like solomon for tune.
