Default Anything missing from this build ?

Ok I have decided on the exact route I want to take on a boosted engine build. I just want you guys opinion , let me know if anything should be changed or added.

2001 pontiac trans am

2005 l33 5.3 stock rods pistons
Shortblock has ring gaps opened up for boost, honed cylinders,
arp rod bolts, resized rods, new bearings.
Tick performance blower state 1 v2 camshaft
Heads will be 241 ported from AI
Dual valve springs
Hardened push rods
Ls9 head gaskets
Arp head studs
Ls6 intake,
80lb injectors
Lonnie's fuel system kit
Power adder is a d1sc procharger with fmic
Methanol injection with 91 octane fuel.
May or may not use a PCM able to store 2 tunes one for 110 and the other for 91 with meth
Target 650rwhp through a 4l80e and ford 9.

Would like to run low 10s

A nice set of tie bar lifters perhaps, and a *****-on tune.

O yup! Thanks. Haven't decided where to have the tune done. I'm in northwest Kansas. Thinking maybe texas speed in Lubbock?

i personally wouldn't use an ls9 head gasket on such a small bore size. there's power to be had in less crevasse volume.
that's just me though. plenty of people use them with no issues.

I suppose im not sure where Id take it to get tuned from your location. Not too many shops around the middle of the US.

I have had a hard time deciding on head gasket. I agree seems like the right bore diameter gasket would be better. Also it's probably down to texas speed out of Lubbock or mc racing out of Kansas City MO. Both are good 300 miles

I don't know how far from these places you are, but Shane Hinds@Craven Performance in St. Charles is a good one and Justin Kalwei@Just Tune would be another one in Lee's Summit/Kansas City.
