ideas?

Ok guys, im in need of some ideas for parts. I know you all have some great experience with your rides, and the parts youve used to makem go faster. so i wanna pic your brains: I have a 93 Z ive done a ton of mods to, but i need more(as fundsbuild up of course) alright, i bought a 95 timing cover, and am gonna switch to a vented opti, my ques here is, im also lookin for the best double roller timing chain for the cheapest price to swap out when i do my cam and opti swap. How much grinding on the cover if any? and using a dbl roller timing chain setup, willi have any fitment issues with the new opti setup, or will the clearances be the same?also are there any drop in springs i could use right now that will handle up to a .600" lift cam with out doin a bunch of measuring. Single or double spring? Thanks for any info you can provide me. I know you all got some well experiencd info for me out there. ive been a proud f-body owner for the past 12years (many dif years and models and power plants) i have not yet owned an LS1, but i respect them.Though i do love my LT1's. thanks to every body for any help.

If you switch to a double roller chain, you have to convert to an electric water pump, and some minor grinding on the timing cover will be required.

Alot of people run Comp Cams Beehive springs, good to .600" lifts.
