Have you checked your oil filter yet?
Hopefully there are no shiny bits in their .
Shop around at some of your local dealers for the new Hydrologic
updated support plate and oil pump.
You might be able to find a 15-20% off dealer in your state .
Have you thought about time saver push rods or are you going with the OEM as well.
Just my.02's.

You will need an inner cam removal/replacement tool and a good bearing press for pressing the cams into the cam plate. I bought my inner cam removal tool on ebay for $120! More than 1/2 the price of the tool on J&P or elsewhere. Check your pinion run-out and if withing limits... .003 or less, I'd definitely go with gear drive cams. Well worth the price and the worries of chains and tensioners are gone for good!

anybody else what about aftermarket?
anything worth looking into
$499 for the SE kit w/o any bearings
I will also be putting some new tapets in
