As far as engine mods go right now I've got intake, exhaust, and a little cam.

Looking into getting a medium sized thunder racing cam package, comes with valve springs, rods, and valve stem seals. I'll also be getting an LS6 intake manifold, ported tb, bigger injectors, and maybe roller rockers.


Any other engine mods I need to look into while getting all of this?

I know when most people do cam swaps they usually upgrade to a better oil pump

also. you dont need bigger injectors. only time you need bigger injectors is when you are pushing 450+

Injectors couldnt hurt though. You dont NEED them, but your tuner can make them work just like stock as long as you arent WOT...

Probably wouldn't hurt to get a better timing chain.

keep telling yourself that...you can have a relitvily small cam with a good bit of duration that will net larger injectors.

Looking into getting a timing chain as well.

The cam package comes with hardened rods.

As for the oil pump will an LS6 oil pump be sufficient?

Def do the oil pump while your in there. I went with a ported LS6 pump, Ive got about 15,000 miles on it now with no problems. Also used the heavier ls2 timing chain. How many miles on the car? It would also be a good time to do lifters as well since your pulling the intake anyway.
