I will be putting a trex in as soon as the springs/retainers are off back order from thunder racing. I am wondering what else I need / should replace when I do this swap. Should I replace the timing chain (if so what kind) and/or the oil pump? When I first got the car my oil pressure was at 40 (idle) now it is around 35 (idle). Is there anything I am overlooking? My car has 47k miles on it right now.

I will be installing
1. Trex cam package from thunder racing w crane duals (tr reccomened over comps)
2. Under drive pully kit from LG Motorsports.
3. lsx 90mm intake and 90mm tb.
4. 160 thermostat

I already have
1. Jet Hot Long tubes
2. NGK Iridiams and thunervolt wires (last changed at 35k)
3. K&N filter with lid
4. Yank 3600 extreeme (I plan on getting a 4000 or 4400 in the future)
5. Lanes 3" true duals
6. HP Tuners

Thanks in advance for the advice

I would for piece of mind replace the chain (lot's 'o lift) & the oil pump.
Your in there anyway. Tools , got a valve spring compressor, look in tools section here the "larry" tool works great. Got a puller & installer for the balancer, got's to have 'em.
All the gaskets, oil, anti-freeze, & new belts for the underdrive?

You're forgetting that this should be in the internals section.

I do not have any gaskets, do they come with my cam package from thunder racing? I have two belts that I got from LG Motorsports K060760 and K040378 as well as the bolt. I do have a pully puller, spring compressor, and LOTS of tools.

You can't a mod will though.
Make sure you get a balancer installer tool of some sort, you cant hammer it back on.

do you have a 85mm maf/lid combo to compliment the 90mm intake?

if not you'll be choking it with the stocker

wrencher, I'm getting ready for a cam swap too (JPR Tool on B/O at TR), but what's a "balancer installer tool," and where can I get one? I know about the pulley puller, but I thought that was all you needed, along with a longer crank bolt??

2much, when I placed my order August 2nd, I wanted the Crane Duals but they said it would be about 2 weeks before they had any. Then I asked the salesman if he was sure about 2 weeks and he said he couldn't say for sure. He made it sound like it could take a lot longer. I hope you get your springs in a timely manner. My order has been held up over a week waiting for the JPR Cam Installation tool. I should have listened to PREDATOR-Z and just made my own.

My cam shipped today with the crane springs. I will be installing it this weekend
