Default building up motor looking for opinions

I am getting a 98 ls1 ready to swap into my 90 camaro and wanted to see if what I have planned sounds decent or if anyone had any suggestions. This car is a daily driver and will have a t56. The motor currently has a ls6 intake, ported throttle body, custom cai and the car has a 3 inch catback and 3.42 gears. I plan on running the 228r cam package from tsp with a ls2 chain, arp rod bolts, and a ls6 or melling oil pump. Currently, the motor has the higher flowing 2002 manifolds but I plan on making a set of LTs when I have time. I figured it would be a lot easier to install the cam and stuff while the motor was still out of the car. Any feedback is appreciated.

I would suggest a minimum of SVO 30s. They flow 36 lbs. at our pressure. Stockers are either 26.8s or 28.8s.

+1, the 30lb. will make room for improvements down the road. they will be at around 36psi if u run 58psi thru your fuel system.
