keep the rotating assembly how it is. if you want to spin it past 6500 rpm get some katech rod bolts. heres the other parts i got that you should consider; brian tooley dual valve springs (tickperformance.com), texas speed hardened pushrods (same thing as comp), new style ls2 single roller timing chain (texasspeed.com), KMJ head studs (ebay), LS9 head gaskets (texasspeed.com) and then youll want the TU1 cam. i used the tu2 because i have a 364ci. that should put you on the right track
