Default Attn: All ls/vtec builders!!! Please read

Im sorry if this is a repost but all i am askin is what is left of my build, im going tomorrow to get price quotes at different shops and i wanna know what im missing. I want to build my block to handle revving safely. I wanna atleast be able to take it up to 8500k without worrying about the motor. heres what i have down so far.

Balanced crank
JE pistons
Crower Rods
New rod and main bearings
Type R oil pump
Gsr water pump
Gsr timing belt
Ls/Vtec oil line and adapter kit
Head gasket
z10 block girdle
ARP rod bolts and studs

Thats all i have so far what do i need to make this a safe daily driver??
I already have the full head im just worried about the block,being able to handle 8500k revvin safely.

Thanks.

Once again sorry for the re-post, ive searched EVERY post on here bout ls/vtec and none are to the extent that i need so thats why im askin about this once again.

I would get a Hondata s100 and a few hours of dyno tuning instead of some generic chipped ECU.

Your plans for the mechanicals making it rev-safe sound pretty much complete.

oh yeah, and how hard is it to install most of the bottom-end parts yourself, cause i could really use the extra money on other stuff for the motor, instead of spendin it getting it installed???
