[QUOTE="fishpick, post: 15490036, member: 182347"] Just thought I'd fish for more opinions here since it's always a lot of fun to help other people spend money! 2012 GT is an automatic summer driver convertible, very very occasional trip with a car club to the track, mash on the throttle at street lights and wave at Corvettes kind of driver. Not gonna be raced - but want to make her as reliable and "safe" as I can for as long as I can. It's getting a Whipple Stage 3 blower installed by myself in another month or so... the pile of parts is growing between the blower, the BAP, the giant throttle body, the high cap IC pump as well as non standard stuff for a blower install like a Ford performance radiator and fan and a few other odds and ends... Since she will be making some serious HP with this setup and I am going to tear out everything in the front anyhow for the radiator upgrade - I'm not cheaping out and am doing the oil pump gears as insurance... So the question is - while I'm in there with the timing cover off are there other things that I should do. It seems like such a slippery slope at this point. Do I then do the crank sprocket with a billet one? What about the chain tensioners - MMR makes a good case for those. Then what about a more better than stock balancer/pulley? Obviously you can replace every damn part for a price on a Coyote... But from folks that have done similar setups - what do you think I actually need to replace vs what can I feel confident keeping stock for a car that will live the life of use I described? (and nobody better say drop in an Aluminator) :p [/QUOTE]
