You should consider picking up a pushrod length checker ($20) depending on how far you plan to go. Different thickness head gaskets, ls7 lifters have a shorter cup, and different cam lobe base circle can change the length to achieve proper preload. TSP might be able to recommend you the proper length based on your plans.

I also noticed the prices in your original post are a little high. IMO, TSP has good package deals for cams and valvetrain, but other parts and shipping are over priced. You can piece together a kit to drop the cost from the timing chain, gaskets, and lifters from other vendors.
