Should I Upgrade to 60's and a Smaller Pulley?

Oh man my build is giving me a headache. I can't decide what to do.

I want to run (I already have all these parts, some installed) a 2.9" sc pulley, 42's, 3" intake, a header w/ 3" collector (a buddy is making me a 3" dp), 3" catback, a ported ls4 tb w/ spacer and taps for meth, an AIS stage 1 meth kit, blower spacer with meth taps, 1 step colder plugs, a CA lightweight overdrive pulley, a port and polished M62 and a custom ice box for my stock h/e

I really dont feel like upgrading to 60's and a smaller pulley cause thats just more cash to spend. What do you guys think?

Won't I need some kind of cooling mod on top of that? Will my meth and icebox be enough?

I think you're in the same mind set. I feel like I do this now and then maybe, just maybe my next big step will be 60's, 2.6 or 2.5, cams, valve springs, ported head and intake manifold and a stage 2 meth kit

as long as you drive your car fine and you monitor everything you don't need cooling mods.... are they recommended? yes.

meth and the icebox are both cooling mods that will surpass the cooling I need for this build
