Most of the stuff you have there isn't necessarily bad, just not a lot of bang for buck and really not doing much without tuning. I wouldn't bother with black bear. If you have enough money to throw around to have those parts, I would start with an 0411 swap and then get yourself HP tuners or EFI live and start messing with it yourself. The biggest bang for buck you are going to get with an L29 is the tune.. by far. Next best thing is a cam upgrade. The stock cam is pretty retarded(I think something like 7 degrees) and small. Lots of guys seem to like the Comp Xtreme energy 01-411-8, I got a similar grind from Delta Camshaft by pulling my stock camshaft and sending it to them for a regrind. They do quality work and have been around forever, it was only $140 and 2 week turnaround. I would probably pull the front cover, replace the reluctor, change out the cam, and swap the computer to the 0411. Then you can hook up an MPVI3 tool and tune to your hearts content.
I've also heard the retard may be built into the stock timing gears. If it is, I'm kicking myself for just sticking a new chain on mine.
