looks like a good setup, except for the diablo sport tuner. get hp tuners and a wideband or a dyno tune. as for the degreeing the cam, i didnt but half of the people here will tell you it needs to be done.

Go with EFILive for your tuning. You might think about a .040 Head Gasket to get the compression ratio up a little.

I installed the T1 a few years ago and I still love it.

Good luck.

Not sure you you need to go to a colder plug. Think I would stick to a tr55. Hope you like a raspy sound cause that's what you'll get with LT's+loud mouth. Personal choice. Setup oughta run like hell! let us know how it goes.
