Need some advice for rod bolts, timing chain, and oil pump to go with
well, my setup in the ls1 is getting near to complete, and the only thing left to do is beef up a few things so my motor doesnt fail. the main thing i'm wondering is what is a good oil pump to go with, and timing chain. should i do a twin scroll? rod bolts wise, i think i'm going to go with k-tech, unless arp's are better. oil pump wise, i can get a ported and shimmed ls2 oil pump, or should i go with a ported ls6 oil pump from tsp? i plan on getting an oil pan baffle too, i'm pretty sure i'm set on going with improved racing there.
any help would be great. links would be fantastic
