Default anything missing for cam swap?

Hey guys new to the site,not new to ls1. Soon ill be having my heads and cam swapped out and wanted too see if I was missing anything. I was thinking about the tsp 228R cam with some stage 2.5 ls6 heads with .600 lift springs. I'm assembling parts so I don't have everything yet,on the list is heads and cam,ss3600 stall,ls6 oil pump,ls2 timing chain,chrome moly pushrods,ls2 lifter trays,ls7 lifters,comp rocker trunion upgrade kit,transmission cooler, and I'm debating on an underdrive pulley. Goals for the car is 420 rwhp,super streetable,dd reliability,car has 95xxx miles.Basically if its not too much of a time consuming p.i.t.a. I want it done,I'm having it re-tuned and dynoed afterwards at the shop that's doing the install, I have all supporting bolt ons already,full umi adj. Rear suspension,koni S/A shocks,and strano springs and swaybars. If I'm leaving something out or if you have any other suggestions please let me know,thanks in advance!!

probably get a lot of different opinions. but my opinion is too much stall for a daily.
combo will work but not my style.
i recomend slp underdrive pulley. has worked great in the 2 applications i have used it in.

Well I was thinking of getting the cam on a 114 lsa so I figured the extra few hundred rpms would help me with the higher peak power. Car isn't a dd but I want the reliability of one.

weekend worrier will be fine, if you havnt already gotten cam there are better choices out there, 228r is good and proven for what it is but outdated in my opinion.

You need injectors on your list. I'd buy a set of rejetted stockers from FIC.

Injectors was one of my concerns,seem like some people have them and some don't,I would like some that would give me room to grow. Maybe 42# Injectors.....also considering a fast 102 intake and tb.
