Also, keep your stock LS1 rocker arms. They are plenty strong, and as light as you'll find. Adding weight to the rockers can cost you more power than a roller tip is worth.

If you have specific valve events you are trying to hit (Intake Valve Closing, etc) then an adjustable timing set will either have multiple keyways or another method to allow you to dial in your timing exactly where you want it. Also, if you install the cam and the tolerances stack up in a manner that the cam is advanced or retarded by a couple degrees, you'll need some way to get it back where it belongs.
All of these items come straight off of page 189 in the 2010 Comp Catalog. Unless your heads have been milled, or you are running some odd size head gasket, the parts should work together just fine.
All of the other parts are obvioulsy for your application, so no reason why they shouldn't work together.
What else you need is anyone's guess. You're talking about a motor swap that will likely require a lot of custom fabrication - all gaskets, motor mounts, electrical, oil pan, headers, exhaust system, driveshaft, etc.
HP will be tough to fugure also - what year LS1 engine, details on the exhaust system, who is tuning it & how it is tuned, just to name a few.
