Default New guy from Darkside!!!!!! Project

So I'm new to the LS scene, I've had mustangs since I was 17, now I'm 25 and I've owned 45 mustangs and still have 3, lol. I had a 95 formula and dint like it, so I sold it about 2 months ago and just picked up my first LS based car, it's a 2000 TA M6, bone stock except flomaster welded in, 140,000 miles Navy Blue Metallic, Ttop car, and I REALLY like it ALOT. I've started gathering parts for building it up a little bit, here is a list of what I have, please offer any suggestions as I am learning a new language when it comes to LS stuff.

Current Parts:
Xer273h-14 comp cam 224/230, .581/.592 114lobe sep.
Pacesetter longtubes
TSP 3" xpipe w/ sweetthunder mufflers
Holden .600 lift springs
LS2 timing set
160* therm
SLP Lid
Smooth Bellow
Ram air hood

My friend who has had a 01 Z28 for about 4 years is helping me do all the work and he has alot of experience with them as he has basically rebuilt his whole car.

What are some other parts reccomended for this build up, I'm not trying to break the bank just looking to make a little more power and have fun, thanks in advance, Ben

Keep the stock thermostat. You dont want to run a motor too cold.
Also, "lose" the smooth bellow if you didnt already buy it. Its more of a cleaner look than a performance modification.
I ran that cam in my 99 Z28. I liked it.
