As long as the internals are forged then it's all good.
keep your CR low 9.5 is good 9.0:1 is better
With the 918's those are shot peened and need to be hot before you drive the car give them plenty of time to warm up so you don't crack or break them. Alot of people will say to go w/ the patroit golds. I used stock MLS gaskets (with 6.0 heads and an ls1 you need to use 6.0 gaskets)
pushrods, timing chain, ported oil pump.
Get 60 lbers or even bigger, 255 lph fuel pump or even 2 of them depending on you fuel needs, boost a pump and a hotwire kit would hurt eighter.
