Default LS/VTEC Turbo Build up any suggestions would be good First Turbo build

Hey Guys, just though I would see if i could get some insight into a few thing maybe get a couple of helpful tips on the build here is what i will be using

The BLock
Golden Eagle HD sleeved LS Block (84mm Bore)
Eagle Crank
Eagle H-Beam rods
Mahle 9 to 1 comp pistons
Endyne Block Girdle
Moroso oil pan

The Head
B16 PR3 Head
Port and Polish
3 or 5 angle valve job
Skunk2 Titanium Retainers
Skunk2 Dual Springs
Skunk2 Valves
Cams=?

I will be using a garrett Gt35R turbo(63AR0),Hondata S300, top mount turbo mani, 3 inch turbo back, 255lph walbro,1000cc injectors. I know i left out a few things but the the jist of it any suggestion on parts on things i should get the machine shop to do would be.I am still undecided about the Skunk2 Stage 2 turbo cams i have herad goods thing but not sure if they would work with my setup.

Thanks

use Crower turbo cams.
not GSR, not CTR, just crower, I used all 3 cams including skunk 2 stage 1 cams.
and crower was the best, don't ask me for a dyno plot cause I don't have one.
race results is what I base my decision on.

I made just about 500 on a conservative 21 psi tune on GSR cams...

its all a matter of what is in your budget

im sry but thats not a vaild response to if anyone has questions about using an eagle crank. its about as useless as when people say use CP pistons over xxxx brand. theres a shitload of pics that have broken CP's, but CP has since resolved the issue and blah blah blah. most companies resolve issues. why wouldnt eagle ?
and to the OP im not knocking the stock crank cause straight from the factory its forged and very robust.

My one suggestion/criticism of the build is this: Did you look around and investigate your options for the turbo before deciding on the GT35r?? I'm not saying its a bad turbo; just that there are other options out there that you may want to consider before going forward. The Borg Warner S366 would be a good one to research in a little more depth....
