Wanted to maybe get some different views on my current "list".

Through browsing the forums and asking a ton of noob questions to countless people. I've come to this list for upgrading my engine internals.
--Manley Turbo Tuff Pro Series I Beam Connecting Rod
--CP Low Comp Forged 2618 Pistons 10:1
--CP-Carrillo High Performance Piston Pin
--ARP FA20 Rod Bolt Kit
--ARP FA20 Head Stud Kit
--GSC Power Division FA20 Turbo / SC Valve Spring Set
--King XPG FA20 Rod Bearings
--HKS Metal Head Gasket (Supercharged Vehicles)

My concerns are that, will that head gasket work, will I have to layer it?
All of this is far cheaper than the HKS Stroker kit which has mixed reviews. And I get more components, but as I've read, the stock crank should be fine. My power goals aren't massive, but I want reliability. Other upgrades I have planned are...
--SBD500X Turbo kit
--Dual Radium Catch Cans
--Radiator/Oil Cooler, Possible Fan Upgrade
--Boost Controller
--Fuel Pump / Injectors
--Maybe some pully upgrades if budget allows.

Posting to see what you all think about this? Comments, Concerns, Suggestions?
