Since I'm going with this cam too, is the LS2 timing chain good enough or would the double roller timing chain be necessary??

Oh and for Imstock you also need the o-ring, crank bolt, and water pump gasket. I don't think other gaskets are really necessary and can be reused. I might be forgetting something though! Anyone else got feedbackon this??

The LS2 chain will be fine. You only need an o-ring if your replacing the oil pump or timing chain. If you buy a pump it will come with the o-ring. You really should replace both while your in there. If you go to Texas Speed they have cam swap bolt and gasket kit. It has everything you need. Good luck you guys.

make sure you get dual valve springs*! Also it is recommended you get lifters. I went the cheap way out and now I have to take it all apart again. I have a collapsed lifter and it would be wise on your part to replace them. so then you would need head gaskets too*
