you have it, might as well run it and see where you are. Generally when manufacturers put a package together like that they have specific goals in mind, i.E. xxxHP while maintaining decent driveability, etc...as long as their goals match yours you should be OK.

Launching!
Hey guy's I just purchased my 02' SS and was wondering about the same kit like smokeyrider05. I saw it in the summit racing magazine and was thinking about doing this package later on down the road. So you guys recommend it?

That setup should definately get you in the 11's with a good tune. And that is a nice "power under the curve" cam which should be great for the street. I don't see an intake on your mod list, I would try to at least come up with an LS6 intake before install time.
