as i was told because i am doing the same thing, you might as well get a ported ls6 oil pump. i think thats about it. i went with an adjustable double roller myself. everything else seems to be there

don't forget the timing cover gaskets and especially the oil pan gasket. if you don't change them they will leak.

Not true...if you don't maul the gasket when you take it apart. They're o-ringed metal gaskets...They're reusable.

depending on the miles of the car, get some lifters. it sucks cause you have to take the heads off to change them, but if your car has pretty high miles its pretty important to change them out.
