If your going to run 8psi and possibly dial it up later, Id ditch the kegger for a F1 intake so you dont have a plenum gasket to blow out. Also put real headgaskets in cause they dont take above 8psi boost for too long. Not that great even na for that matter lol.
While the heads are off be sure to get them checked for cracks as they are prone to cracking between the vavle seats.

Hughes engines.

If you want a camshaft go to KRC
http://www.krcperformance.com/
If you want roller rockers, get the Harland sharp 1.7 non adjustable roller rockers

If you want new injectors get these:

It's an M1 intake, not F1...


And that turbo is way, way, way too small for your 5.2...

you would think with dual headers that you might want to get a dual turbo setup, right? Then those little t4s can fit in the engine bay easily and you'll be getting plenty of boost from them. What controller do you like to use?
