Those seem like good mods to me!!
I think you can get about anything done at Carlisle with ca$h, including a tune. You'll want it tuned after the mods you listed, for maximum and best results.
Check the National section of the forum for the Carlisle thread and ask if anyone is doing headers this year, contact them before the show.
