Finally an update. After much debate, I decided to replace the factory oil pump with a TSP P&P LS6 pump. That took 2 weeks because I kept cutting the oring.

Also upgraded the timing chain to a new LS2 chain, new knock sensors, 918's w/ TI retainers. New wiring harness, computer & 60lb injectors should be here before Christmas, as well as all the AN fittings for the fuel system. Stall should be here too.
