Default Critique My Build Plan

My plan mostly revolves around a bigger cam and a better intake set up. Ive done some research on alot of different set ups and have come to this point. I would really appreciate some input and ideas from you guys. I've done a number of bolt on mods but never internal.

Vehicle: 99 Camaro Z28
Transmission: T-56
Current Mods:
-Lid/bellow/85mm MAF
-TSP long Tube Headers
-TSP OR/Y
-QTP cutout
-Magnaflow quad cat back
-NGK TR55 Iridium Spark Plugs
-Taylor 10.5mm plug wires
-EGR Delete
-Billet 11lb flywheel
-Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
-B&M Ripper Shifter/ Skip shift eliminator
-Drill Mod master cylinder
-Koni 4/3's
-BMR lowering springs
-Kenny Brown Weld In Sub Frame Connectors
-17" TT 2's with Nitto NT555R's
-Recently Tuned by Steve Williams

Build List (parts to get)
-Fast 102mm Intake w/ 102mm Throttle Body
-Fast LSX-R Fuel Rail Kit
-MS4 Cam 239/242
-LS2 Timing Chain
-PRC Double Valve springs
-TSP 7.375 Rods
-LS7 Lifters
-SLP Under drive Pulley

complimenting my current mods..I feel like the idea is good as far as reasonable power increase with comfort and drive ability kept in mind.
Any ideas from you guys as far as maybe switching some things up or does it seem pretty solid?
Thanks for your help.

You are going to need to add a clutch to that list. My Centerforce DF lasted 50 miles after I went H/C. I would stick with the fast 92mm over the 102. There is a lot less work and cash involved in the swap.

All that stuff but no heads? Was it just not in the budget?

See I've herd of that before. The clutch is great for little to no mods and when you start adding hp it becomes garbage. Might think about throwing a spec stage 2+ or stage 3 in there. the centerforce in all honesty is kind of a noisy pos to begin with. It holds well for now but its quit annoying when only after a couple hard pulls you can tell just how hot the clutch gets..starts to become impossible to shift. As for the 92/92 set up vs the 102 whats the difference in work and cash? are you talking about the fuel rail kit that the 102 requires or is there anything else that i might have missed?

As for the no heads comment, its gonna be done eventually...and it would be a whole lot easier if i could fit it in with everything else so its all done at once but with moving to Cali and switching jobs its just not looking to good to add another 2 grand to the build list.
