Default Cam is going in Friday

Right now I have a 00 TA basically with full suspension, lid, cutout, and borla catback. It has 64K miles.

Future Plans: Fast 90mm and throttle body. After that I won't be doing anymore motor work. Just want to get 410 or so to the wheels and sound good doing it with decent daily driveability.

Going in on Friday will be:

Pacesetter Longtube headers
Pacesetter off-road connection pipes
S cam- 238/240 on a 112 LSA 605/609 lift
Comp Cams *NEW* .650 lift 918 valve springs
Comp Cam 7.400 pushrods
NGK TR6 Spark Plugs
160* thermostat
Mobil 1 oil change

Price: 2076.12 with a tune and it will be ready by the end of the day.

I made another thread on this subject and have since decided to go stock rockers and lifters. I have been told multiple times that the stock oil pump should be fine, might go with an ls2 timing chain, or a double roller if I can get one for a decent price. I found an ls6 intake and ported TB for 350.00. I am kinda strapped for cash and was just wondering what you guys think of the setup and my plans (keeping in mind I won't be doing much of anything as far as the motor is concerned in the future).

Any help or advice will be extremely helpful.

Thanks,
Brian

Seems a little more worthy of the internal section so I am moving it over there.

Im running the stock oil pump but, I replaced the chain. I should have replaced the pump since I was already in there but, Oh well the stock one is still holding up fine.

Ya, i'm getting a different opinion from everyone. I would like to replace the pump, but HPE wants 100 for the pump and 88 for install. I'm a little short on cash. As it is, I'm gonna have to wait on an intake, which sucks.

Well I say if you have alot of miles on the stock pump just go ahead and replace it but, if not then dont sweat it.

I wouldn't gamble with your stock oil pump. Save the money you were going to spend on the double roller (just get the LS2 chain) and go w/ a Melling oil pump.

personally id jump all over that ls6 intake mentioned earlier. with that cam's intake duration, you are definately gonna notice a difference. and even if your gonna buy a FAST later on, the LS6 is one of the few mods that holds its complete value 90% of the time, so buy it for $350 now and sell it for $325 when you get a FAST

thanks i'll post dyno numbers when i get it back. I will definitely go with the ls2 timing chain. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep the oil pump or not.
