Default Pulling the trigger on parts...what to expect?

Things that I have or are en route:
1) LS6 Yellow Springs
2) Spare set of bare 862 heads
3) HP Tuners
4) eBay LT's
5) Trick Performance E-Fans
6) GMPP HD Timing Set

Things I'm fixing to order:
1) HT1 SDPC LSX Truck Cam 214/218 .555/.562 111
2) Set of 5/16 x 7.400 Manley Pushrods
3) Powerbond 25% u/d Pulley
4) (as an option) GMPP LS7 Lifters

Things to down the line:
1) Send the spare 862's in for the works and .030 milling
2) HSW Plate Kit 100-150'ish shot

Opinions welcomed and appreciated. My goal is to have a decent street truck that makes bought not built Mustang GT's/F-Bodys/GTO's/Sprayed or Turbo'd Ricers say OMGWTF?!?!?!

Wives are like parents only worse

Rule of thumb is that you have to spend double on them of what you are planning to buy for yourself.
