That cam is gonna really suck with boost IMO. You don't want something with an lsa like that in a turbo app (For example my cam is on a 114+5 lsa).

Spend some money on a quality wastegate. I wouldn't trust a chinese gate. One cheap stuck wastegate can take out a lot of even more expensive parts. Jon from Huron is a turbosmart dealer and can get you a good price on them, especially if you buy the kit and accessories at the same time (I run twin turbosmart 45's and a turbosmart 50mm bov on my car).

You are going to want to upgrade your fuel pump setup, as a single 255 won't cut it. I like to overbuild with fuel systems so I would recommend a twin setup, but you may be able to get away with one big pump depending on your power goals. I didnt see you mention any other fuel upgrades, so I'm going to remommend doing a regulator and lines as well. -8 feed from the tank and either a -6 return or use your stock feed as a return. Get a good *boost referenced* fuel pressure regulator. This will raise fuel pressure on a 1:1 scale with boost so you can make sure you are getting enough fuel, and make your tuner's life a little easier. I have a Magnafuel regulator on my car but pretty much any boost referenced fpr will do

LS6 clutch is going to laugh at boost. I'd definitely beef that up.

I can recommend a few more things, but it all honestly depends on what your power goals are and what you plan on actually doing with the car when you are done...
