Hey Doc, I highly recomend calling the vendor directly regarding emissions...... As mild as you are planning I doubt any problems, but that is a PITA job to do in the car if you find it won't pass. Make a 5 min call and be sure

I would recommend the roller rockers. With the higher rate springs and the higher lift cams, they should make the valve train last longer as well as make a couple of horsepower.

So far every fastener I touched on my C5 Z06 except the aftermarket blower tensioner reinforcement is metric. I assume the same is true for the other LS cars as well (camaro, caddy cts, gto, etc)

The roller rockers aren't really necessary for a 228* cam, the stock LS rocker arms are pretty good--they're roller, but not roller tip. They're also really easy to change out later if you decide that you need to!
Make sure you get an upgraded billet double-roller timing set, and a good oil pump. I just went with an SLR pump (IIRC).

As far as what i carry in terms of tools whenever i hit the road, i always use Metrinch anyways: http://www.metrinch.com/
They fit both standard and metric nuts/bolts and they're way less likely to round off the head of something. Worth every penny!
