Think about replacing the timing chain with a better one, as well as adding a timing chain tensioner. Maybe the LS2? Do a search. I went with an SLP double roller, but I hear that might not be the best choice (no trouble for me yet). Also, since you're in there, replace the pulley bolt with an ARP. It's only around $25.

^^New timing chain, ported oil pump, new pulley, better lifters (LS7), and also consider after-market rocker arms to reduce wear on valve train.
