Default Engine combo opinions please

I have been milling over engine combos for some time, and think I have my combo picked out. Let me know what you guys think. It is a late model 355 with unmolested bowtie heads (screw in 3/8 studs, guideplates), an LT4 hot cam; 218, 228 @.050 with .525 lift with 1.6 roller rockers, hyper pistons (9.0 to one with 64 cc heads), x-rods, stock crank, cast rings, clevite bearings, a street avenger 670, performer RPM or weiand stealth intake, proform HEI, 4.55 gears in a ~3400lb corvette with a T-56 6 speed tranny. Some stuff I have, some I am not sure on. The shortblock is done, as is the tranny and rear end. Any more info needed, let me know. Thanks, guys.
