Streetsweeper HT cam, thoughts? Been doing quite a bit of research and it looks like the 228/232 streetsweeper ht is a great cam and probably what I'm gonna go with. What is everyones' thoughts on that? And I know pushrods, valve springs, and timing chain are necessary, should I get a ported oil pump and ls2 lifters while I'm at it? And any recommendations on specific parts?
About the car:
-stock ls1
-4.10 gears w/ an eaton posi
-M6
-Pacesetter LT headers with TSP true duals
-It's my daily but will see some track time in the future (obviously not near future though because I need a 9 inch lol) but that will be mainly road course time

I'm pretty sure that cam was developed for the ls2 & ls2 parts in mind
what they recommend off there site for that cam
PAC Racing 1518 Beehive Valve Springs
FTI Seven Degree Chromemoly Retainers
FTI Hardened Seven Degree Valve Locks
Steel Shelled Viton Valve Seals
FTI Pro-Series Hardened Pushrods

Ed has nice grinds and that cam works well on a 346.
As for the oil pump I would do it if the car has high miles since you are already there. Also consider 98's had the most trouble with the pressure spring sticking....
As for LS7 lifters you can't change them unless pulling the heads so.....

I went from a 5X3 to 228/232 (110LSA) and love it. There is so much more power under the curve, and it still pulls all the way to 6600 easy. I havent put it on the dyno yet, just seems to stop pulling a little there but easily rev's to 6800.

I have the bigger streetsweeper, I bet that cam is great also. Anything that comes from Ed is great. I would definetely do an oil pump. I went with a ported SLP LS6 pump, i think it was like $200, better than $5000 if the original crapped out.

i dont know much about the difference of 98 bolts from the rest of the LS1 bolts but usually if you dont see over 6500 and see 6000 every once a month or so then you should be fine, when i go to the track, my 99 will see 6300 shift points like 10-15 times a day, no problems here.

At 130k miles what is good to do is a compression and leakdown test. Based on that, one can decide if it is worth it to mod or rebuild.
A basic rebuild done properly will run ~ 2500>3000 $$.
Besides rod bolts, 97/98 have shaky bearings and less efficient oiling system.
