Oil Pump & Timing Chain
Doing a cam install. Cam is on a 115 LSA (.224/.228)
Was told I need to upgrade my oil pump and timing chain on a 99 WS6. Is it necessary to upgrade to the LS6 oil pump and the LS2 timing chain? Or do I need to purchase the heavy duty ****. LMK
here's what i got my eyes set on

I don't believe it's NESSESSARY, it's more like SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY IN THERE kinda things. Depending on how many miles you're already clocked at, you'd be replacing them soon anyway.
I would probably advise for you to look in the FOR SALE section first, you might save a few bucks. You'd also want to look at a ported oil pump like the one from TSP. It's a bit more than the WS6store's, but it's ported for a better flow.

FYI, I did my cam install with 110K on the clock and my timing chain had no slack in it at all so I left it alone. The oil pump was also running fine and had given me no signs of going out any time soon so I left it alone too. I now have almost 130K on the clock, with plenty of street races and several passes at the strip. Everything is still running 100%.
Not that I recommend keeping the stock parts, I was just hard up for money at the time and wanted to finish the install.

When they installed my cam,I had them put in a Melling 295 and LS2 timing chain.I figured while they are in there anyway,better play it safe.It's not that much money.I would if it was my car IMO.
