LT1 Build Suggestions?

Hey I am taking the motor out this week and looking for suggestions (or at least a look over on what I plan to build). If any part is overkill or not good enough; please let me know. Plan on keeping it stock stroke and just cleaning the cylinder walls .030" over. I have a Vortech V1 T-Trim supercharger I plan on freshening up and changing the bearings to safely turn up to 61k RPM. Custom crank pulley and the smallest supercharger pulley up top to get around 10-12 PSI with water/meth. Motor should sit right around 9-9.2:1 depending on what we find out with the piston to deck height.


Ohio Crank crankshaft - 43503480PM (http://www.ohiocrank.com/chevysb_cranks.html)

Ohio Crank h-beam rods - H5700 (http://www.ohiocrank.com/hbeam_rods.html)

Diamond Pistons -22cc D shape - 126-11420 (http://www.texas-speed.com/p-2584-di...-included.aspx)

I am aware I am leaving the rings out, don't know what the best ring is to run on a supercharged motor. I'm going to see what cam Lloyd Elliot suggests, I know a lower lobe seperation might not be best for a centrifugal supercharger but I really love the sound of the 232/240 .578/.574 110 LSA.

LE1 Heads (mainly interested in just having the heads freshened up but for $1,300 with a cam and another $160 for shipping both ways I can't beat it) http://elliottsportworks.com/?page_id=51

I'm not concerned about rockers, lifters, pushrods, gaskets, injectors or any of that other stuff. I've built a few motors and have a descent understanding (I like to at least think this lol).



Not looking to build a daily driver or a road warrior but I'd enjoy having something fun to go to work or drive around in the summer (and go to the track with). Throughout the entire winter I will be buying stuff piece by piece or whatever money I get in OT snow plowing I'll put directly towards the build.
