DOD delete parts/uprades?

[cobrajay]

I have a 14 5.3. I'm buying a Tx Speed DOD/AFM delete kit. Question is, what other related parts should I have changed while the motor is out and the heads are off? Is there anything I should upgrade? I'd like to knock out any future isssues at the time of the delete.

Nothing else is really a weak point.

 

Some people replace the oil pump with a new OEM pump but that's about it.

I'd do a billet oil galley barbell. My motor will be pulled this week to have an AFM delete kit installed in addition to a BTR Stage 3 Cam. 

 

What cam are you going with? assuming that you know that stock cam cannot be used after properly deleting AFM.
