H/C/I what else to replace?? hey guys some background about my car 2000 m6 that has 112k with hooker Lt's, custom y pipe, lid, borla exhaust..next i am putting in some 241 heads with a TS cam, and a Ls6 intake..my question is since i am putting in all of this stuff internally is there anything else i should replace so it can handle more of the power? for example should i replace the push rods, etc. or what else? thanks in advance!

if your going to stock 241s your wasting your time and money. ls6 intake is smart and the pushrods and springs and what not totally depend on the cam. also id suggest a nice clutch and hydraulics if your stayin m6. and id suggest stayin around 6300-6500 on the stock rod bolts and bearings if your plannin to rev it much higher id go with arp rod bolts and nice bearings its cheap insurance.

Replace the oil pump with a ported LS6 from TSP
Replace the timing chain while you're in there also
Are you set on 241 heads? What heads are on there now? If you're looking for big power gains, stock 241 heads will not be your answer.

as he said up there go with a timing chain its cheap insurance aswell. but the people around here that have 241's so they have the "better heads" crack me up they flow no different they were just cast a different way in a different place. big deal. 241's will give you zero performance gain in stock form over 853s and someone porting them could make them flow identical as well.
if you want cheap power go get some 5.3 truck heads (862s) out of a junk yard somewhere and have your ls1 valves put in them with some new valve stem seals. youll get more compression without sacrificing ptv clearance and theyll flow exactly the same as any ls1 head.
