People need to realize that if they have an 01-02 car, their car is already equipped with an LS6 Pump. What you could do is port the pump yourself to have a Ported LS6 Pump. I chose to go with the Melling Pump because it creates more volume with the larger gears. If you really wanna be cheap, then port your own pump and use an LS2 Chain.

99-TR230/236-112 Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"Split Pattern" - 230/236 .592/.602 112 LSA 2400-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. 3200+ stall, 3.42+ gear, computer tuning required. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.

I thought the valve springs were good to .650.....but I think I remember you posting somewhere that they're only good to .600.....just checking, because that cam is too much for .600 springs

Best Pump out there is the Melling Oil Pump. There are two kinds, the 295 and the 296. The 295 is a direct replacement and is basically OEM equipment, just made by Melling. The 296 is the performance Oil Pump which includes longer gears and creates more volume. Jus' don't put in the high-pressure spring. You could get this at Lingenfelter.com for 129.99 plus free shipping.
Good budget Timing Chain: JWIS Double-Roller from NewEraPerformanceParts.com. This can be had for 99.99.
Good Luck
