On my 98 I used the SLP double roller chain and oil pump kit with the higher pressure spring. Car sees limited WOT (street), oil pressure is solid @ 58PSI, no problems yet.
The kit was an easy install.

Verdad Gallardo I can't say on the cost. I went through Mizfit to get the block and some other stuff. It was kind of a package deal you might say. Could contact Steve and ask.
The Melling pump worked fine with the dual rollmaster. Used the spacers that came with the chain. Had to clearance the pump slightly near the suction port. The casting is slightly larger than the stock pump in that area.
I am pretty sure I will have to do some clearancing on the front cover but haven't gotten that far yet.
