your criteria sounds similar to what I was going for with my build, heres my setup:

wiseco 10:1 96mm, coated
K1 Rods w/ARP 2000 bolts (Carrillo actually owns K1)
oem rod/main bearings, calico coated (no one makes aftermarket for our engine)
ARP L19 head studs
oem head gaskets
CSC Radiator
Z1 Motor mounts
HKS spark plugs (already on the car)
Aeromotive 340lph fuel pump (upgrading from walbro 255)
.86 turbine housings "stage 2" (upgrading from .64 "stage 1")
injectors I'm undecided on, I currently have bosch 650's but I know they won't handle 600whp. I'm going to break in the engine on my current tune and then upgrade the injectors/retune in spring.

theres nothing else you need to do for reliable 600whp, leave the head alone

as far as machine work goes, find a good machine shop and they will:

inspect the block, bore + hone
inspect the crank, checking for micro-fractures. polish.
spec the bearings, line hone the block/rods if necessary as oem bearings only come in a few sizes
balance the pistons/rods, then balance the full rotating assembly. for peace of mind I recommend having your assembly balanced with your crank pulley and your clutch/flywheel/pressure plate combo.
