Sounds like you've got the makings of a really fun track car there! The Pfadt Stage5 package is the best off the shelf road race package you can currently buy for your Camaro. The coilovers in that package will be able to handle everything you can throw at them, and the supporting cast members really solidify both the rear and front suspensions for track use. It's the same package we run on our Camaro when we aren't testing prototype equipment, and the same package that was on the car when we took the Super Modified class and Fastest time of Day at the Camaro5FestII Autox.
The engine mounts do take a little time to break in, but if you're lugging the car off the line in first gear they will make themselves known. The trade off in snappier throttle response is well worth it in our opinion, and they will relax with a little more time.
Keep in mind that while you wont be in any danger of overpowering the suspension, brakes and tires are a different story. Make sure that you're running the most aggressive tire compound allowed by your race class, and a dedicated track pad will really allow you deeper and more reliable braking into corners.
Something else to keep in mind, we have expanded our NASA Contingency plan to include Camaros this year. If you're out there placing in NASA races it's definitely worth it to take a look at joining our Pfadt Race Team!
Your planned engine build sounds pretty similar to what we're running in our car right now. It's an LS7 with LS9 dry sump and cam available through GMPP. That setup may not be aggressive enough to reach a 600hp goal, but a wide naturally aspirated power band that's easy to keep cool is worth it's weight in gold after an entire track day.
Keep an eye out for our Camaro on your suspension package at tracks this year! Our next event is going to be the Spectre 341 Hill climb on June 17-19th. Should be a really great time!
