For the cam talk to a pro, I suggest Mike at Rapid motorsports but there are many talented cam selectors. Stick with the 1.7 Rockers, the 1.8's and 1.85's can cause all kinds of clearance issues with the valve covers and heads Dump the BBK T/B. You can get the same from a ported 6.0 T/B for 1/2 the price or spend the megabucks and get the fast 90MM intake and T/B which is very good for a S/C application and also gives you the added security of the blow out panel the LS6 one doesn't have. Unless you plan on buying the computer software to work the MSD coils they aren't worth $600.00+ dollars over the stockers. Engine covers will need to be modified to fit the aeromotive fuel rails, again I recommend going with the FAST rails, they are cheaper and just as nice. If you do go with 1.8 rockers and use valve cover spacers make sure you get plugs wires for the TRUCK engine, the car one's will be too short from MSD (trust me I know this one!). Also i would highly recommend QTP headers and apart from looking cool there is no need for a true dual exhaust. Are you going for emissions legal? If not get an off road Y-pipe with a cut-out. I have the dual electric cutouts on mine but I am getting rid of them. Open they only made 4 more RWH then a magnaflow exhaust and the same as a single cutout. Also if you are looking for a long engine life be wary of the 4.125" stroke, the rod geometry starts getting pretty hairy there. I would sacrifice the cubes and go with a 4.000" and just pump an extra pound of boost into it if need be.
