[http://www.thunderracing.com/shop-by/vehicle/1997-2004-Corvette/Cylinder-Heads-and-Valvetrain/Pushrods/](http://www.thunderracing.com/shop-by/vehicle/1997-2004-Corvette/Cylinder-Heads-and-Valvetrain/Pushrods/) [http://www.thunderracing.com/shop-by/vehicle/1997-2004-Corvette/Oil-System/Oil-Pumps/](http://www.thunderracing.com/shop-by/vehicle/1997-2004-Corvette/Oil-System/Oil-Pumps/) I run the thunder racing ported LS6 oil pump and at idle, its 60psi, WOT its 80…increased oil pressure across the board over the stock one by 20psi and just walk into any local GM dealer and get a LS2 timing chain. Mine was $30 from northstar. you are also going to need stock valve guides because they are going to replace your current ones. GM dealer will have them. Mine were $40. also, you need to pick up a Crank pulley bolt. The factory bolts are torque specific and have a squish collar. They can only be used once. You can also get that from a local GM parts dealer. or call up the shop that is doing the tune/install and ask them about what I mentioned above. Some shops have the parts in stock and will just add it onto your bill when your done. ---

No squish collar… they are torque to yield, they are torqued then stretched at a specific angle to provide constant pressure. You should get a new one, it’s about $2.00 ---

here is what ECS quoted me "We can install the parts for $ 1100 The tune would be $550 We would check push rod length during the install… Figure on $129-$159 depending if we need a custom size different than .050 increments… One question though? What would make you buy a cam from anyone other than us? Just found it a bit odd since we have the best cams for superchargers." ---
