Default How does this look for a build?

I called up EPP today and talked with them for a little while. Looking for my combo to produce between 600-650whp and high 500's possibly low 600's tq. I would like to get into the 10's as well. This is what I've come up with. Feel free to critique, I am fully open to suggestions at this point.

Procharger D1SC @ 12lbs FMIC
Patriot LQ9 Stage 2's/ Patriot Gold .650 Dual springs
EPP LS forced induction camshaft 232/240 .595/.608 115LSA
Eagle H-Beam Rods/ARP 2000's
Diamond -2cc relief pistons/Total seal steel ring set
Stock crank
ARP main studs/ARP head studs
Upgrade fuel system from 42lb injectors to 60lb injectors and dual in tank pumps

One thing I was wondering is if I could drop the cc of the heads due to the -2cc reliefs in the pistons? Like around 68cc or so?

Like I said, I'm open to any suggestions.

with 72cc heads and those pistons u should be around 9.6-1 compression depending on gasket thickness, 68ccs u would be around 10.1-1.I would just leave the 72ccs

With 12psi and the money with heads and rod why are you going to run a stock crank?
Get a forged balanced crank for some added insurance.IMO

Well I already have the shortblock. I'm basically just swapping out the heads and cam and throwing the D1SC on it. I'm only looking to turn about 650rwhp tops out of this thing and the stock block/crank will easily handle that.
