Default Planning a budget rebuild ... need inputs

I have a plan to rebuild my motor. After some research and how much power I wanted, I have come to this listing. I plan to install a 60-1 turbo kit with a max boost of 10psi. I am looking at Wiseco stock replacement pistons, stock rod (shot-peened, MagnaFlux, polished, and ARP rod bolts), stock crank (nitrited), stock heads (valve job, mild hand porting and enlarge chamber to 9.5:1 CR done myself, stock valves), CC 918 Valve springs, HD pushrods, new lifters, SDPC timing chain set, Custom CompCams camshaft 224-224-114 @ 0.581", ARP Main Studs, GM Head/Cam change kit, new bearings, stock oil pump. I am rebuilding the M6 and installing a new clutch assy with a Safety Bellhousing. I want a reliable 10-sec turbo street machine. I run nitrous now, but hate it when I run out. So it goes when the turbo is installed. Any thing else I should look into doing?
