Great info guys, keep it coming.
So with my mildly modded truck I can get away with using same retainers and locks, stock oil pump with maybe a shim to up the pressure while I'm in there, I'le check and see what my gauge reads at different rpm's, ls2 chain only or do I need the sprockets also (truck has 85k on it and has had Mobil 1 since about 5k), and a new set of pushrods. Oh and a water pump gasket, you can re-use the valve cover gaskets. thanks guys great site

You'll need two water pump gaskets, one for each side. An LS2 chain is all you'd need, but Yank is selling them with both gears for $68. Both the valve cover and front cover gaskets can be reused, as can most of the gaskets on a LS engine. You could probably even reuse the water pump gaskets, but I would not. You'll need a 3-jaw puller to remove your balancer, and don't forget a new bolt for it. I see no reason that you'd need to do anything to your oil pump. Oh, if you replace the chain, you'll be pulling the oil pump, so get a new O-ring for the pickup tube. I think you'll need the fatter one.

this is a quote from thier web site and is what i was asking about, i do not need or want power made above 3000. i am only looking for off idle to 3000 torque improvements
ALL OF OUR .551 LIFT CAMS WILL FIT WITH STOCK PISTONS WITH OUR 1.8 ROCKERS
if i can fit thier cam in my stock motor without those rockers by all means i will not buy them.
thanks,
matt
