Default Possible set-ups?

Alright, I'm still pretty new to the world of the ls1 and am reading up on parts and learning more and more every day. I like to plan out my mods for a car in advance so that I don't look back and regret getting 'x' brand over 'y'. That being said, I've come up with a list and was hoping to get some feedback.
-Patriot Performance Stage II LS6/LQ9 Cylinder Heads with 59cc Combustion Chamber
-TSP Custom 224R Cam: 224/224, .581"/.581", 114 LSA
-FLP headers
-TSP Carbon Fiber-Style Induction Lid for 85mm MAF Sensor, SLP 85mm MAF Sensor, & Smooth Bellows
-Which cat-back?Corsa, B&B, borla?
-Also what springs for cam?918's?
Should I get lifters, rockers, pushrods?
Thanks for the help in advance, this has been a great site for me so far and I'm sure it will continue being very informative in the future.

There is even more to get , timing chain & oil pump.


Depending on the milage of your car , & what you should do.

The heads should come w/ double springs all ready .

You should do the lifters w/ that lift.

Pushrods might as well.

Rockers are overkill the o.e. pieces are good to begin with.

You can swap them later no prob, to save some $$

A mail order or a good dyno tune that thing will rip.
