why do u have such a small cam with stage 3 heads? You will make more power with a bigger cam with a higher lift to meet the cfm specs of yout heads at certain lift. I got stock LS6 heads that make better numbers cause they flow the best at .600 lift and so to take full advantage of that I got a cam with .598 lift. Just thought that would help. Later

42# injectors arent really needed you would have been fine with 32# injectors IMO. Not hating just trying to help.

i see! OK no problem plus its good to have bigger injectors cause later down the road u might want forced induction and its one less thing to worry about buying!! I think you would be happy with a G1 MTI cam! 228/232 (.57x .57x) and futral has GREAT variety of cams. Cause you know ur gonna wanna go bigger in the future! And If your gonna spray Id run a reverse split cam Like a TR230, or MTI X1 cam, check those out when u get a chance. Other than that everything looks fantastic, and bet ur excited. Have fun with it!
