Default Need advice lc9 68 camaro

Hey I'm a new guy. I need advice on my engine build. I have an lc9 gen lv 5.3 aluminum block from a 2007 silverado. I have lots of questions. I plan on the DOD delete.
Will an ls6 cam be a good choice? I want a good sounding idle and mid range torque.
Will the ls1 intake perform well with the ls6 cam? Will the ls6 intake be a far better choice?
I have a stand alone harness that I believe is for a 99 ls1. I plan to go with a cable driven TB
Will larger injectors be a factor if I stay with a stock intake?
What ECM do I need to get?
More questions to come.
Thanks for your help!

I think you're going to have issues with sensor location between that gen III harness and that gen IV motor.
You're going to want the same ecu for whatever harness you're running.

What front accessories are you running with that motor and intake? You might have some interference with that ls1 intake and truck accessories.

If you change to an ls1 or ls6 intake, just get the injectors and fuel rails with it too and you should be fine.
