Default TR 230 Reverse Split

Hey guys im getting ready to put a tr230 cam into my 01 M6 TA. Not that im buying it for the fuel economy but roughly what percent decrease will I see?
Also im putting in comp 918 springs, titanium retainers, and 7.4" Thunder Racing hardened pushrods. Should I do an oil pump, timing chain, 160 thermostat or all three? Also im running this on a stock car except for the borla exhaust. Do I need an ls6 intake or other stuff?
Thanks for the input.

Tha gas milage will actually be very good with the stock gearing. You don't have to do the oil pump and chain, but I did for added insurance.

I would get an ls6 int after a while, but you will be fine for now. Headers would be a big plus also. After you can afford it.

Good setup, a LS6 oil pump would not hurt, and depending on you mileage you can get away with the stock chain (I played it safe and got a new LS2 chain).

You said you have an 2001 TA, so you already have the LS6 intake.
