Default A&A kit with my setup?

I have a 2002 Z06 with a 230/234 .600/.612 113 + 2 cam, xs power long tubes, and stock, unmilled heads. The car has 110k miles and when I did the cam I did new lifters, dual valve springs, oil pump, timing chain, and pushrods. My car has a monster stage 3 clutch and a lingenfelter fuel pump.

My question is, am I asking for trouble adding an a&a kit to this setup? The clutch should be fine but I'm mostly curious about the cam and high miles. I was thinking of running 5-6 psi and want around 600 to the wheels. The car currently makes 416 rwhp.

Thoughts or opinions? Should I stay NA or go for it? Good set of heads, intake, etc will cost as much as the kit, so you can see why I'm tempted. I don't want to blow the motor though and I know it's a possibility. I have zero experience with FI but I'm in houston so a good tune will not be a problem to find.

It's sounding better and better to me. Any other preventative maintenance I should do before adding boost? I sure wish I had pinned the crank while I was in there...
