Default Tuning question

Ok so I have an 01 Camaro SS with headers intake true duals and a moser engineering 12 bolt with 4.11's it is an automatic. I blew my headgaskets, so I bought another set of 241's that are currently being ported and polished. I've ordered a 224r cam (224/224 .581/.581 112 LSA) PAC springs, and rods. I have a few questions. 1: where can I find the best price on gaskets and head bolts? What kind/thickness should I go with? 2: best/cheapest place to get an ls6 ported oil pump? 3: Is this the correct ls2 timing chain I need? Seems really cheap lol http://m.summitracing.com/parts/SME-143012

Ok for the last part of my post, I know after the cam the car will need tuned... But is it going to be okay for DD duties on the stock converter? Also will it have to be retuned once I have the money for a yank? Thanks guys

you can use that timing chain that is a stock replacement alot of ppl get a double rolling timing chain, and as far as the other stuff i hear head studs are better, i used bolts thou, and look on classifieds for a pump those are all over the place

1. SDPC. GM MLS seal great and are .054 compressed.

2. Melling 10296 OP. Flows more and better cast housing >$150

3. Yes that chain will work fine...

4. Convertor will work but not ideal. Yes waaaay more than likely the tune will need to be touched up to get your shift points and lockup recalibrated.
