Go with an LS2 chain. You will also need some new valvesprings, oil pump, pushrods. The fuel pump, water pump, and injectors is not a have to. I would replace the fuel pump and waterpump if you have a high mileage car.

I noticed GM Performance Parts makes a timing chain guide that will help take up the slack in the chain...even a new chain seems quite sloppy. I would have gotten one of these if I knew it existed when I did mine last year.
