Default supercharging high mileage

Good morning, I was able to get a killer deal for a buddy on an A&A kit kast week. So my question is, the c5 ls1 has about 189k on it right now.

Now those have been mostly highway with the car being adult driven and never really spun over 4500 rpms. Maintained really well...etc....

Here is a list of parts and things we will need to replace for insurance..

Leak down test..1
Replace a bracket for a newer design
New aftermarket oil pump.
New injectors
New valve springs
Hardened push rods?...
New balancer
Fuel pump and filter.

We plan to run no more then 5-7 pounds and the car wont be beaten on. It already has longtubes, exhaust...

He wants a reliable car, is there anything else im missing or need pointers to?

A good tune will be key to keeping it together.

I'm not a huge fan of aftermarket oil pumps. Some aftermarket QA sucks.
