This is exactly what we do
Tweak the oil pump with a spring, degree the cams and run the crap out of it
All the bolt on stuff once bought goes on our next salvage yard engine
We've had no engine failures with the exception of a broke ring which still ran great, just smoked like crazy
Do a google search for GM's Ecotec Sports compact build guidelines
It's geared towards drag racing but has all of the essential information
If you can't find it I have saved as a PDF and will e mail if you want
Good luck
