You shouldn't have any issues with this set up. I personally run a similar set up, except I run Lonex 16:1 gears (Firing 450~ FPS with a Modify M120). The 11.1V LiPo should power the motor sufficiently. The only thing you may want to consider is getting a battery with a higher C rating, maybe somewhere between 20-25C if possible. Another thing of note, which I'm sure you're already aware is to make sure the gears are properly shimmed and AOE is corrected. Assuming this is done you really shouldn't have any problems with the set up.

Siegetek gears are pretty overkill unless you're building an insane FPS or ridiculous ROF build. If you're looking for gear durability/longevity then I say go for it, but for your purposes and build it would be largely unnecessary.

You may also want to consider running lighter BBs, personally I've found that at 450 FPS .32g BBs ideal for range and accuracy.
