get better valve springs. The boost will hold the valves open at upper rpms. maybe get some 918 springs. Also, why would you pay that much for substituting a 3" dp for the 2.5 that comes with the kit??

Intercooler and wastegate come with the kit. There is no aftermarket ignition system worth going to for LS1's. And you should need a stand alone computer unless your shooting for big numbers.

But do think about upgrading your valvetrain as well.

What you may or may not need depends on your goals. Are you looking for a street car or strip car?
