you plan on reconfiguring your speedometer? 50 series on 17" wheels is too big. Go with 45's.

Honestly I was not that impressed by the LS6 springs. I would go with the comps that way if you choose to go with a large cam or something down the road you will be set up for it. Are the Scorpion rockers you are talking about the high ratio ones on 60degreev6 that are being made? I will be buying a set of those when they come out. I would avoid the Borla exhaust, you will be throwing away about $500 more than you need to on an exhaust. Go with a custom bent system and spend what you save on something more important. Otherwise it looks like a good build list. Good luck.

Good choices. You have a solid plan just dont expect much from it n/a. I am still a little disappointed in the way mine performs after all the work I have put into it.
