If your car is a '98 you should do a ported oil pump too. Also I would recommend getting a new timing set. These are just cheap insurance in my opinion.

Ported oil pump and a under drive pulley.

Not just any old underdrive pulley. You get what you pay for: ATI.

The Whisper may be a smooth, shiny, pretty wheel, but it has no harmonic balancing properties. It will shake, rattle and roll yer timing chain into oatmeal.

Avoid it like the plague....

thanks I didn't even think of the ported oil pump.

Which springs and retainers do you guys reccomend?

I keep hearing about the dual spring setup?

timing chain, if you need a new GM timing chain I have one, $25 shipped to your door, e-mail me pkmoose@aol.com
918 springs seem to be good for lift under .600, stock retainers are adequate.
