Default H/C swap decision

Finally decided on a plan for the '02 Fbody LS1 swap into my '70 RS. Was going to just throw the stock 69k motor in as is but decided that I wouldn't be satisfied with a 13 second car after going mid 11's with my '99 Hugger.

So I decided to go with the following:
Ai 226cc CNC GM LS1 346cid/5.7L Heads & Cam Kit for GM 243 Heads
226/234 .600 .600 113 LSA cam
BTR .650" Dual Spring Kit w/ Ti Retainers
CompCams Roller Bearing Trunnions
ARP 134-3609 Head Bolt Kit
GM "LS7" Lifter Set
GM Lifter Guide/Tray Set
Racetronix pump and upgraded harness
Meziere Electric fuel pump
ATI 10% UD damper

I've already got 1 7/8's LT's with Stainless Works full 3" dual exhaust
Trans is a T56 Magnum with Tick MC, stock 10 bolt 8.5" rear with 4:10's; may go to 4:30's.

The oil pressure was real good so I may not mess with a new pump, am I being a dumbass?

The motor already has an Ls6 mani and ported stock TB.
What injectors would be a good fit for all the above additions?

All suggestions/criticisms are welcome..

Sounds good! I'd do some 42's on the injectors. I'd stick with the 4.10's though. I have them as well, and wouldn't change them for anything

I'm going to be installing all of this myself so any other suggestions on parts I should purchase and tips would be much appreciated.

Are the Racetronix 42 lb injectors a good choice?
