Default Oil and Fuel Pump HELP!

Ok i have a 94 Z28 M6..right now its pretty stock only with mid pacesetter headers and flowmasters with no cats....I will be doing a top end build just looking to find heads right now...what kind of fuel pump and oil pump should I get? I need performance ones but nothing high priced only looking to build my car up to 450rwhp in the next couple of years so if you guys can help me with oil and fuel pump options id really appreciate it and also should i get a bigger oil pan? thanks!!

As long as your fuel pump is working, I don't see why you would need to replace it.

I also don't see why you need to change the oil pan and if you really need a new oil pump, I suggest the Melling 10554 with Mellling pink spring or GM white spring.

How exactly do you expect to achieve 450rwhp?
17yo car I would do the Racetronix fuel pump with hotwire kit.
No need to change the stock oilpump, might consider a high pressure spring(couple dollars) mostly just to replace the old spring not because it needs more pressure.

If you're just doing a top end rebuild and you have good oil pressure there's no reason to change the oil pump/pan, at least not now.

I thought i need a new pump because i lost oil pressure and now theirs a tick in my engine no knocking so i was told the rockers are messed up...also because i want to build the heads i thought it would be good to have a better fuel pump since the car is 17yo same with the fuel pump...i heard the racetronix one is good as well...any insight please continue to let me know thanks....another thing would it be a good idea to replace all seals and gaskets in the motor or is that not really needed? thanks

dude.......like we spoke before......if you came to me with a 210k mile motor and those symptoms and told me you wanted to put a good top end on it i wouldn't do it......even a basic bottom end rebuild will save you big troubles in the future.......you toss a rod and put the piston through the head and you have a paperweight....including the new heads........do it once do it right!!!!
