Thanks everybody for watching. Super excited to finally get the BTR Stage 2 cam. What other parts should I pickup while I'm doing the cam install besides oil pump, water pump, balancer, trunnion upgrade and timing chain?

Driveability is great with the stock converter. I've had less than 5 times where the car wanted to push through the brakes and bucked, but all times the car was still cold and it was cold outside. It would certainly drive better with a converter, but I don't think it's 100% necessary. I'll be doing one at some point, but so far so good after 1 year
