Default How does this sound for a setup?

Almost have my mind made up but still open to suggestions and have most of the parts already. A few things are a bit off the wall. Custom carbon fiber lid, modified stock TB and LS6 intake (78mm all the way through). All Pro heads (I'm being told 330cfm with a 22? cc runner), FMS F11 cam with 1.8 rockers, Mahle pistons, stock rods with ARP bolts, ported and shimmed LS6 oil pump, 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 headers with a 3 in collector. Shortblock and been properly balanced and blueprinted. Custom tune and 4.10 gears.
The setup looks a little different than what most people go with but I think its gonna work well. What do you think and what would you change and why.

Looks nice, but why not a 90/90 setup?
You're rebuilding... why not change blocks to go 370 or 383?

Just trying something a little different. Thought about a stoker, just didn't go that route. If I were gonna go bigger I would have done a 402. Oh yeah, has anyone been using ls7 lifters in an LS1? My builder wants to try them so I said why not.
