Was this thread not good enough for you? Why don't you answer some of the questions on there to get better help than just posting the same exact thread?

Best all around cam for Ls2's that are in my opinion good cams are the vengeance Vrx5 cams. Call Ron and he'll be glad to set you up with a kit.

You always buy the springs that are matched to the cam.

Yes I would always upgrade pumps to melling 10296.
Yes upgrade the pushrods to a chromoly, if you decide to mill the heads then you length you'll need a different length, if not then a 7.4 is what you'll most likely be needing, again Vengeance will have all of that for you.

Water pump--- how many miles on it? Because it will need to come off for install and if its off and you have lots of miles on it then I'd look into one a GM one cause others suck lol just my .2

Injectors--- if you do end up needing bigger then I'd send mine out to get resized for more flow. I resized my old Ls1's for my 416 here: http://www.stiegemeier.com/injectors.html
So far so good.

I'd also get a katech c5r chain.

Just my .2 bud
