Default Valve springs and timeing chain ?

Im going to be puting a eps 226 230 .598 .600 cam in my 02 formula.

What is the corret spring to use for this setup.Patriot dauls(8401) or PRC duals?Or is this a good setup to run a set of beehives like comp 918s or prc1518?

After searching around it appears i can buy this chain http://sdparts.reachlocal.com/?scid=..._id=5873201138 and use the factory gears. Is this acceptable? Ive never run a new chain on old gears before but it seems alot of guys are doing this unless im reading this wrong.Car has 61,000miles on it.Only seen the track once in complety stock trim and was a daily driver for a few years.Then mostly sat in the driveway until now.

I wouldent think it needs a oil pump at 61k.Keep it or go new?if so which one?

Car is going to be mostly driven on the street.Few trips to the track a year but not many(2 maybe 3).

Any help here is appreciated.

Your link did not show a chain. The standard budget upgrade is an LS2 chain. Being a motorcyclist I can never bring myself to install new chain on used sprockets.

That cam will work fine with beehives. I like the PSI Max life. In a dual I like the Comp 921s, which are more expensive but often last a long time.
