Timing chain and water pump reccomendation

i have a 97 z28 motor thats now a 383 and is going to run about 12psi -15psi boost. Shooting for 600hp. Im trying to finish the motor up now. What timing chain and water pump would yall recommend. Thinkin about switching to a electric water pump and and maybe the Cloyes 9-3145 timing chain set. But if i use that chain set, wont i have to delete my relucter ring and crank sensor thats in the timing cover? Or what setup would yall recommend for the motor setup, maybe heavy duty lt4 chain set and mechanical water pump? Not for sure. What do you think i should do.

I believe the crank sensor is only for detecting misfires.
instead of going with a factory link chain and pump, I went with the better and cheaper cloyes 3145 and a CSR electric pump for my turbo 383 that i'm finishing up. I found that CSR's supposed 'great' I'll try Meziere next time for sure.
