Default powerdyne on a 6.0

Bought a 6.0 lq4 with a powerdyne and wanted opinions. This is my first forced induction engine so bare with me.
This is what I have so far.
*6.0lq4
*gmpp intake
*aarons elbow
*92mm tb
*powerdyne-k10521 bd11a (rebuilt 500miles ago)
*green top 42lb injectors
Opinions on this cam: (asking if I can use it because I already have it)
Custom ground Comp Cam hyd roller cam, serial # D3575-04, XE-R lobe profiles 3726/3728. Specs are 281/285; 232/236; .595/.601" lift; LSA 114; ICL 114
Also opinions on throwing on stock 243 heads with 650 springs. This will all be backed by a 4l80e and going in a 93 silverado. Any info is appreciated, Thanks alot guys.

yeah the cam will be fine, the 114 lsa is a little close but not too close. dont expect high boost as the cam will move all the air out first lol. make sure the springs are at proper installed height, the heads will be fine.

your going to run out of injector right away, 42s are too small. Most FI guys go from stock strait to 60s or 80s

Contact Geoff at EPS. He is a sponsor here. He can get one out to you. He did mine and I am in love!!!!!

Also, I think Patrick G specs them out and Geoff orders them, or vice versa. Someone correct me. EPS has their own lobes which are very nice to your valvetrain. If they don't chime in, send them a PM or call them. User names are Patrick G and Geoff.

Just a couple comments about the powerdyne. They are a baby supercharger. You will probably only see 4-5 psi on your setup. They don't produce very much CFM. Your green tops will be adequate with this setup. Step up to a bigger fuel pump and add a manual belt tensioner.
