I forgot how much I paid, I just new it was very cheap. No, no gear is needed. Although I've heard the LS2 chain on the LS1 gear is a pretty tight fit? Was fine for me, but I think at one time in the car's life it was replaced with the LS2 gear... and chain. I really gotta run the VIN and find out what service work was done to this thing

Bam. There's your ~900 cost. IMO that's all you need. I would def do the Oil Pump and put an LS2 chain on there (chain is <$100).
I spent about 1 month deciding to get a cam, and about 10 minutes deciding which one. I just sent Pat G a request and he got me set up. I wish I went with a bigger cam at this point

just a chain is fine, unless for some reason when you have it apart the sprockets look fuged up.
imo i would wait for a sponcer to have a sale, i know what i want but im waiting for the sale.
also im sticking with the stock pulley.

I have the specs from patrick, i'll just buy the chain and wait to see how it all looks. I was just going to get the pulley because i thought i should try to gain some extra power. What are the downsides of a pulley? I have a sound system, is that a problem?
