OK, so....my parts list should look something like this:
1. ARP #234-4119 Head Studs
2. Comp Cams #7639-16 7.40" hardened pushrods
3. GM MLS 6.0 Head Gaskets (what about Fel-Pro 4.135" bore .041" thick LS1 gaskets ??)
4. Stock Rockers
5. Stock Lifters

What he said ... I didn't realize the base circle on that cam was that small. I figured it was like the CC cams. I guess that's what I get for assuming.
Are those FelPro's your talking about graphite or MLS? What's the bore size on them?
