Guys, I can't thank you enough for starting this thread. I recently picked up a set of 243 heads for my ls1 chevy II. When the time comes to swap heads I am also planning on changing out the cam, doing a rocker trunnion upgrade, high volume oil pump ect at the same time. After reading this thread and many on ls1tech I decided to order a set of CHE trunnions at $200 shipped. Talked to Matt he was very helpful.

I would not recommend a high volume oil pump, just port the stock one and stick a .060-.070 think washer under the bypass spring.

I have an blown up engine in the shop (we didn't build it) that I think died a slow death from all of the fairy dust being sent through it from the needle bearing upgrade. This engine had a mild performance cam with .600 lift, it had 12,500 miles on it.

Here's one of the trunion shafts out of the engine
