Dual valve springs, retainers, hardened pushrods, new lifters, new timing chain, new oil pump.

Not everything is needed but is a good idea to replace while you are in there doing it.

What year is the car? If it has alot of miles on it he might want to look into a newer and heavier duty timing chain and a ported LS6 pump. We sell the PRC dual valve spring kit that comes with titanium retainers, hardened seats and new valve seals that will work great with the cam he chose. He will also need hardened pushrods and a gasket kit. Let me know if you have any questions, we have everything in stock!

Had my cam changed recently. Everything got changed except the lifters and they should have been swapped but taking off the heads wasn't within cost for me. They cost me 25rwhp so they will get changed very soon.

LS2 chain and Ls6 pump should get the job done. No need for a double roller.

Using a cam with that much lift and duration, Id hazard to guess he need some reliefs cut into his pistons too.
