You cannot install roller rockers on a stock 7.4 Vortec. Need tall rocker covers and they interfere with the throttle body. Be careful with cams that require adjustable rockers. Pandora's box. Your money is better spent on other suspension items...poly bushings, rear brake service, steering, etc.
The rear brakes are typically ignored because they can be z PITA to service. Fronts are not bad unless rotors need replacing.
Another tow related thing I've seen is the factory hitches can rust out and become unsafe. Check the area inside and out for deep rust. Clean and POR is good.
I'll assume you have 4:10 axles? If not, there's an expensive goal for best towing.
4L80e has a temp sensor built in. You can read it in "live" OBD scan mode.
The thermostat should be left factory if you live in a cold area. With front and rear heat, you'll want the 195 in winter. It wont cause problems in summer if cooling system is clean. If the cooling system is junked up, thermostat is least of your worries.
HID/projectors are pretty cool. MORIMOTO rules!
For S&Gs, nice torque cam kit below. But, it won't work with factory Vortec FI.
Solution...note the "Q'jet" FI..this engine has roller rockers. Still just something shiny...at truck RPMs they are bling. SB screamer, they are functional. The cam below is an excellent tow cam for 7.4 L29. These things require thought as they are "systems" that have other requirements to install.
A healthy, stock 7.4/4L80e will easily pull your Camaro and an open trailer. WD hitch and away you go.
Grill suggestion? I have a new grill identical to the one pictured...?You must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attach

When i brought the truck home I did update the rear brakes with new hardware. And yes my truck has the factory 4.10 gears. Trying not to mess with the rocker arms and camshaft right now.
Whats a good source to buy some suspension upgrades ?
And what brand is your cowl hood? It looks badass.
Here is my camaro.... it run low 11s with a 6 speed naturally aspirated.
