I changed mine at 50K miles with TR55s and MSD Wires. You can find some good deal for the combo in the sponsor specials section.
German Castrol Syntec 0w-30 seems to be the most popular oil for our LS1s, you can find it at select Autozones (might have to call a few before you find one that actually stocks it). Next would be Mobil One 0w-40.

When I swapped my headers in I put in TR-55's, that was at about 35k. I dont like MSD since they are really hard to get clicked in. I went with Gm ZO6 wires, got them at Sam Taylor.
As for oil, I use Mobil Clean 5000, I dont care for synthetic. I am at the firm belief I'll be building a bigger motor by the time I wipe out the bearings.

there are probably a hundred threads on this topic, try doing a search. The word is the mobil 1 0w-40 and Castrol Syntec 0w-30 are closer to true 30 weights when compared to other synthetics.
