Question Questions on a 5.3L Vortech SC build up

I have a bone stock 5.3L that I bought from a salvage garden. I am shooting for 500 rwhp through a 4L60 and I will be using a F-body Vortech Super Charger with the upgraded T-trim and pulley that's putting out 12psi on a bone stock LS1 346. I purchased this system used and it already comes with 60lbs mototrons injectors and a few other upgrades. Here's what I am planning on using on this engine which I have already. If you all can think of anything else that I should get please let me know. Should I stick with the LS6 cam or should I use a different cam?
-LS6 intake
-LS6 cam
-317 heads
-ARP head studs,bal, and rod bolts
Planning on purchasing
-LS9 head gaskets
-Harden push rods
-double timing roller chain
-rod and main bearing
-Fuel rails

I don't like the double roller timing chains myself, seems like a big PITA for something you really don't need.
