Are you going to go with an LS2 timing chain and LS6 ported oil pump?
Seems to be the norm when doing a H/C swap, I have them for my install.
Don't forget the gaskets for these too. What about some ARP head bolts?
And what about the TB? Have you P&P'd your stocker yet?

Ok forgot to mention yea I put on the LS2 chain when I did my cam swap about a year ago along with new intake gaskets for LS6 and I have a new regular not ported LS6 oil pump. Yes I did get arp head bolts too. I am running stock tb with LS6 intake. I sanded it down some to make it smooth though (tb).

no need to soak valve lifters
i just put some assembly lube on the contact points (cam/push-rod) and they will lube themselves within the first 5 minutes of starting the engine. Since the lifters won't be filled with lube they will tick until they fill with lube but it won't hurt anything unless something is different about the ls7 that I'm unaware.

If your too cheap/lazy to soak the new lifters in a little oil then put the wrenches down & step away.

Either way it should be a solid 400hp set-up. Just remember dyno numbers aren't important, it's a tuning aid. If you think the numbers aren't impressive take it to the track before you let yourself get disappointed.
