Default Best set up for LS3

Let me start by saying that I am new to this forum I know that I am not building a corvette but I have found best source of info for me here.
I am building a 1970 Camaro with a fuel injected LS3 and a T56 I want good power and excellent manners I have decided to use Spinmonsters cam and was wondering what other parts I should install with cam I want to upgrade the timing chain What do I need to change as for type of cam core and chain gear change .

What spring and retainers are required and should the stock rockers be changed
What push rod will I need
I have herd that the LS3 valves have been an area to look out for on higher spring pressurizers or is it nothing to be concerned about with this set up
The motor is a LS3 from a 2011 Camaro with 4 miles
