Sportlines with LT1 and AC Delete?

Putting an LT1 in my 89 Formula Hardtop right now. I am looking for all out handling as the car will be used primarily at Summit Point and VIR for track days. Do you guys think the Sportlines are what I need? Given the car is getting an LT1 and I am deleting as much weight as I can off the front of the car do you think I should look at a different spring? I think with the lower weight on the nose of the car the Sportlines make sense.....

Here is the list of mods currently in progress:
96 F-body LT1 (AC DELETE)
Tremec 3550
Koni shocks/struts
Spohn Torque Arm, LCA's, Panhard (all with rod ends)
Spohn SFC's
SLP headers with dual Random Tech Cats
Baer Brakes front and rear
Hotchkis sway bars
Cerullo XR seats
LS1 Driveshaft
16x8 GTA wheels
Optima battery in the trunk
Detroit Speed & Engineering Steering Gear Blueprint

All the parts are already on the way or sitting in the garage. I am not really sure how this project grew like this...... With a little help from my friends this should be ready for the track in about two months.
