Combo help
My bonus is coming, so I'm looking for my next round of 'tinkering' upgrade to the Z06. Currently for go fast mods I only have the A&A P1SC Supercharger kit, and an LS1 Dyno tune. I'm looking to do a cam swap and finally install some kooks headers with plans for the future of a forged bottom end and maybe more cubes. Does this look like a good combo? Is there anything that won't work here? Also, do I need the O2 sim's with LS1 edit or cane I just turn off the codes for the loss of O2 input? Is this cam big enough or too big? I don't want too much lope and I'ld like to keep some of the power down low. Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I have the wife all geared up to order this stuff for me. Oh, and will 1.8 rockers be OK with that lift in the cam?
01-04 Corvette 1 7/8" Headers
Kooks Offroad X Pipe System for 2.5" Catbacks
Partiot "Gold" .650" Lift Dual Spring Kit
1997-2004 160* T-Stat
O2 Simulator Pair - OBDII - F-Body
Camshaft - Int -224 Exh - 232 Int - .581 Enh - .595 Lobe sep - 114
(also available camshaft 226 234 .598 .599 117. Would this be better?)
LS1 Non-Adjustable 1.7 Rocker Arms
Thank You

One more question.
I noticed in GM hogh tech magazine that they say you can do a cam swap without removing the lifters. They say to (obviously) remove the pushrods/rockers, then rotate the cam a few times to push the lifters up out of the way an they will stay there. Has anyone done this? It seems risky to me, but I have very little experience working on an LS1/LS6.
Oh, and since I have the A&A supercharger kit installed, anyone have experience trying to get the crank pulley off since it was pinned? I just hope that doesn't make it next to impossible to do.
And has anyone used any of the previously mentioned parts with good success (except the kooks headers which I already know about)? Opinions would be greatly appreciated as I know little about combos for these engines. I've spent the last 10 years working on my Buick GN, and lost touch with LS1/6's.
Thank you.
