Default Car is under knife a little help please

I bought my first ls1 two months ago, here is what Im doing, cam, heads, full exhaust, and cold air, Im not going to be running cats, so my first question is will my car run, long enough to get it to the tune shop?

Its a M6, the cam is 230/236 576/573 107 LSA. Pacesetter headers, ORY, loudmouth, lid bellow k&N

Also where is a good place to get head bolts / studs? and the gaskets? GM good enough?

Thanks

i just got a bolt/gasket kit from tsp...as i didnt figure on swapping heads many times not sure if it will run well enough to get you around...i think the stock idle is set at like 800 rpms for an m6 whereas autos are like 550 so my 112 was a real bitch.

I do not have any one reason, I like how this cam performs, sounds and it was for sale at the right time
