Default 4.8 to 5.3 swap ecm question

I just recently swapped my 4.8 for a 5.3 with the 02-04 Z06 cam. In an 06 1500 ccsb. I still have the 4.8 ecm in it. A well as the 4.8 injectors. I have no low end power whatsoever. I was wondering what if anything should be done to my computer injectors etc?? Also I've got the sorry 3.23 rear gears. Should i jump to the 3.73 or just the 3.42?? Don't wanna kill my mpg. Thx

First thing you should do is get a tune if you know the long block is assembled right and it ran good before
