Gen 3 Coyote QOL and Performance setup

I finally got my gen 3 coyote and am prepping to set it up for higher RPM and longevity. I'm on my way to getting the oiling system completed with full -12AN lines, FRPP Road Racing oil pan, and an accusump but I have some questions and could use some advice for what else I should probably do to help the engine out.
  • My main questions are should I change out all the timing chains, guides, and tensioners?
  • What is the actual upper RPM limit of the gen 3's? Should I change the valve springs?
  • What should I do with the evap lines? Gen 3 is different than gen 2. Does anyone have a diagram of these lines?
  • What other modifications are recommended? I'm trying to not dump a bunch of money into it but please let me know your thoughts!
I've been doing a lot of research into what should be done and/or is necessary for revving up to 8100-8300RPM but most posts are related to the Gen 1-2 Coyote, not the gen 3 and there's a lot of conflicting information. The coyote I got came with 59K miles on it so when I change the OPG and crankshaft sprocket I was looking to replace all the timing chains and timing guides. I've emailed FRPP a few times and haven't heard back about what the recommended replacements for the gen 3 are.

This post feels like a mess
