Default Am I missing anything?

I am in the process of buying parts to mod my 2000 T/A and I'm going to be putting all the parts on at once. Can anyone tell me if I am missing an important supporting mod that would be unsafe or unrecommended to leave out with the setup I will be running.

The parts I will be putting on are:

92mm TB, 92mm intake, TrickFlow 215 heads, EPS 224/228 cam with supporting springs and pushrods, 36lb injectors, ls6 oil pump, LT headers, electric cutout past the Y-pipe, GMMG catback.

This is not including the suspension mods. I just have questions on the internals.

I am not asking for recommendations of parts, I am asking if there are any supporting mods I am missing in order to safely run these mods. Yes I know about the weak *** 4l60e and 10 bolt rear end.

I like to replace the AC belt (on my LS6) whenever the heads are off because it is easy to get to with everything out of the way. I do not know if this is applicable in your case.

Since I don't pull heads very often (hopefully once per car) I replace the lifters whenever the heads are off the block. LS7 lifters, which is the current OEM replacement, run about $130. I would also upgrade the lifter trays to the more current LS2 version.
