i would go with a mellings hv/hp pump, i think its cheaper and it flows more with higher pressure, get a double roller timing set without question, get a set of ls7 lifters, there about 15 dollers more and they have been prooven in some pretty high hp cars. your gasket kit sounds really expensive too. I would verify pushrod length before ordering also

Basic Heads & Camshaft Bolt & Gasket Kit $150
TSP Ported LS6 Oil Pump $140
TSP Chromemoly Pushrods (Size You Need) $110
GM LS2 Timing Chain $38
Hypertech LS1 Thermostat (160* or 180*) $48
GM Replacement LS7 Lifters $130
This is the same list you gave, but all the items are from Texas-Speed. Good bit of difference in price, so my opinion is you should give TSP a call. ---->

**Ah, I just realized the price you got down for the Heads & Cam kit is for the Deluxe Kit, either way TSP has it for the same price as well.**

Id go with the LS2 chain, LS7 lifters and either a melling 10295 pump or a 10296 if you need it. As for pushrods I guess we covered that on our forum. When do you think this set up will be up and running??
