I agree with the oil pressure sending unit... As far as I know, the knock sensors are on the side of the block like my engine, they were under the valley cover on the older motors like the iron block I'm using though (I relocated mine to the side of the block).

You are correct... I was thinking about the older trucks... sorry for the misinformation.

these items are best to replace with OEM correct?

Always AC Delco OEM when you can... this site is a great reference: https://parts-catalog.acdelco.com/catalog/catalog_search.php

As far as I know, the knock sensors are on the side of the block like my engine, they were under the valley cover on the older motors like the iron block I'm using though (I relocated mine to the side of the block). How many miles do you have on it? Valve train pretty quiet? I guess if it were me I'd replace the lifters with LS7 lifters because they are so cheap. Pushrods as well while you're at it and rockers with a quality trunion upgrade but that can all wait until you do a CAM but you'd be removing the blower again. All very cheap insurance for future use and better for high RPM abuse. The bottom end should be just fine but those few items up top can get you a long way. If you do replace the lifters, make sure you replace the plastic trays that hold them, they are cheap as well and get brittle with age.

**If you think I'm crazy, here's a reference to part of my build thread. I was delayed with a wrong part and decided to pull my heads to repair an exhaust bolt. Found other issues that would have screwed me and decided to replace rockers, lifters and a few other things. Better safe than sorry: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thr...-hand-really-quick.92148/page-10#post-1126942

well I don't think you are crazy at all, I thought about Valve train myself, any way I could get a part list of recommend parts? not sure how to put that together, if you don't mind.

Nope, I'm using it on my 6L that is stroked... BTR will give you a cam recommendation. Those cams make more power than most others on these types of blowers thanks to the custom ground lobe separation.
