Default LS1 Rebuild, Bearing & Component Questions..

considering pulling the motor and sending everything out to have checked. since im new to ls1s and whats out there for new technology i am wondering what everyone recommends for main, rod and cam bearings for these engines? also interested in ring sets. it will obviously be run hard and will see lots of street use. i want to do it once and do it right. aftermarket balancer of choice? powerbond? oil pump, stock, ported, aftermarket?

biggest thing to worry about is the machine work. That will make/break a motor.
