Default HPDE/time trial build questions

Building a HPDE/time trial car (Rx7) and am curious on a few items before I buy stuff.

Car is around 2600 pounds, getting an 04 pullout with a T56, 110k miles.

Plan on the below
improved racing oil pan baffle
melling high flow/pressure oil pump
comp cams 11-428-54, 228/230 .571/.573. 112+4
Trunion kit
PSI 1512 springs
Comp cams 875-16 short travel roller lifters
new lifter guides, drilled
new pushrods, need to check for length
1 3/4 long tube headers, largest I can fit in my car that isn't custom.
Coyles timing set
3qt accusump

Possibly new clutch and lightweight flywheel, open to recommendations on these as well but no carbon stuff since I can't afford it...

Leaving everything else stock, heads and bottom end. Rev limiter set to 6800 unless the car drops in power before that, dyno tune.

This seem like a decent plan from a matching perspective? Any glaring issues?

Thanks

You didn't mention your brake system, e.g., cooling ducts, brake pad compounds, rotors, stainless steel brake lines, DOT 4 fluid. Also didn't mention cooling, e.g., performance radiator (larger capacity), oil cooler, power steering cooler, etc. How about your suspension? Shocks and struts vs. coilovers with sway bars, alignment specs, tires, etc. What safety features are you adding: fire extinguisher, harness bar, race seats, 5 or 6 point harnesses, etc.

Sorry about that, I have the rest pretty well covered, just not familiar with the engine side.

Dual oil coolers, larger radiator. No power steering or AC

AP racing brakes, coilovers, roll bar, 5pt harness, sparco Evo seats, toyo RA1's for the moment. Eventually I am sure the car will see Hoosiers but probably not this year. I drove the car last year with the above items. Will be getting a HANS before my first event this year.

Was thinking about a diff cooler as well.
