I assume you have a ported oil pump and timing chain? If you're planning to spray I would get 42lb injectors.

Got the ported ls6 oil pump and im getting a double roller timing chain. I was thinking about the fuel pump, but didnt know what to go with. I 42 lb injectors going to be big enough with the spray? Oh and the n2o is going to be on a window switch and a wot switch.

The Racetronix kit is awesome and well worth the money! Don't forget the hot-wire kit.

When they say the kit comes with absolutely everything you need, it has EVERYTHING you need. Racetronix even includes a paperclip to pop out the wires! (you will understand when you see the instructions)

Order from ThunderRacing since you are in LA. They have great prices and keep plenty of Racetronix stock.

Just get the full Racetronix Kit. From TR it's like $250, and you'll be set.
