Any suggestions?

i am going to be pullin my engine and doing a rebuild later this winter or in early spring but i need a few suggestions on my setup
im going 355 possibly with 4bolt main caps
jethot LT's either true duals with x pipe or a Y into the standard cat back
electric water pump 58mm TB forged crank gm 847 cam kmotion 800 springs 1.6 rockers comp r lifters and hardend push rods also some 36# injectors and pcmforless tune
i already have SLP CAI msd 6a and coil trick flow elbow tayloy wire ngk plugs and a march puley
Iam gonna be sprayin atleast a 200 shot at it so i need help choosing some pistons and rods that will work well with this setup
and also is there anything else i should get (other than a 12 bolt rear) or anything i dont need
thanks alot Sean

Re: Any suggestions?

Unless you plan on going forced induction as well I wouldn't bother with the throttle body. Also go with chromoly pushrods if you plan on spinning high. I hate to say it but if i would also ditch the slp intake and vortech elbow, both are metal and heat soak really easily. I'd bet you're losing at least 5rwhp from them.

Re: Any suggestions?

when my car is just sitting there idleing yes the elbow and cai get warm but not hot
but after ive been driving and then pop the hood they feel ice cold so i dunno if its really that big of a deal
for the TB should i get a 52mm instead or stay stock and just pick up an air foil
