Default Am I missing anything?

I'm almost ready to start pushing up the boost. Here are my mods, some are installed already and some will be installed in the weeks to come.
STS with 60-1
Front mount
Snow meth kit
Z06 cam
EFI live
Trutrak
Built trans
gauges
255lph pump
42lb injectors
big trans cooler

Am I missing anything? I want to start with 8psi and then move up to 10psi later. What do you guys think I will make power wise here at sea level at 8 and 10 psi?

340 at 8 psi, and 700 or 375 at 10 psi, whichever comes first.

vroooooooooom

possibly 918 springs too
I forgot to add that I have ls6 springs which I am hoping will hold up. I am going to see how far I can go with the 42's and meth before I change injectors or the turbo.

With 8-10#'s i would be scared to still run the 42# injectors. If your going to upgrade sometime anyways, might as well spend a little extra money and not have to worry.
Is this going on your T/A or just modifying the trucks setup?
Edit:i just saw your sig. I'm w/ KB on the hp estimate.

42's will be good to around 500rwhp with your truck, which you should get close to with 10 psi

42's will be good for 10 psi. Just get a good tune.

I hope to hit 500rwhp eventually but I am not going to have the cam in until later this month. I do have efans already installed so I hope that helps a little but I figure I will probably only hit about 440rwhp without the cam for now.

I am going to tune it myself. What does everybody mean by a good tune? I hear that a lot on this site.
