ati procharger w 3 row intercooler 8-10 psi

subframe connectors from what i hear are a must(im having them put on right now as we speak)
shocks, either kyb or hal 12 way's i hear good things about.
definately get some slicks or drag radials to hook.
make sure you get the 8 rib setup on your procharger.
36lb-42lb inj's will work well.
possilby fuel pump for safety.
upgraded ls6 ported oil pump over the crappy stock ones.
thats all i can think of now...

Edit: saw that you have a fuel pump being installed, so disregard that.

Injectors 42# or even 60#
Maybe a set of valve springs (might get valve float up top)
Rewire kit for your fuel pump
Clutch ( if you have stock it won't last)

This is an old thread with some people commenting on my soon-to-be set-up. I hope it helps:
