Turbo LT1s?

Is this enough turbo for a hotcam and stock injectors? Worried my opti spark will blow a ring 😕
Should I replace the factory injectors? Will a single plane intake hurt my torque??

That's a hotcam idle? I guess it's been a while since I've heard cams in that duration range.

60 psi should be good on stock injectors, tune and pistons.
