Default need some more help on ls3

Hi so I am trying to source parts still to get my turbo ls3 motor together, anyways I have some heads here are the specs.
- 823 rectangular port heads CNC ported and milled by Advanced Inductions, switched to hollow LS3 intake valves (milled to 64cc chanbers)
- Rocker arm trunion upgrade
- BTR Platinum Spring Kit w/Ti Retainers
- ARP head bolt kit
- Ai ChromeMoly hardened pushrods (5/16” and .080” wall thickness)

For the engine block I am using stock crank, eagle rods, ls9 cam.
I do not know if I need a front harmonic balancer like ati, I do not know what pistons to get with the heads I bought either as they are second hand heads. I am going to run studded mains as well but im stuck on what head gaskets and pistons to use. I will be running dual s200 borg warner turbos so nothing harmonic balance driven.
Thanks
Richard

What do you guys think about an ls9 cam, would it be easier on engine if I had a bigger cam?

My LS3 intake saw 28-30psi fairly regularly. They are the best factory intake IMO.
