1.6 rockers and tune will always help. As for the injectors, if you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator you may be able to add all the fuel you need, but the tune will let you know.

I have a cam only 350, i had 1.52 roller tips at first and then got better valve springs and did 1.6 full rollers, i can definitely tell a difference, car even beats the ground harder haha

LT4 intake with 58mm throttlebody Did you ruin the LT4 intake to make it fit by machining off the extra material above the ports? Did you realize the ports and plenum are the same as the LT1 so you gained NOTHING?
Aeromotive adjustable fuel pressure regulator This will allow a novice to cause himself more problems than it could ever gain you, should have put the money towards injectors and tuning
3 inch exhaust all the way through
pacesetter headers
High Fow Magnaflow Cats
Taylor Wires
K&N Cold Air intake
MSD Distributor Did you key the hub, fabricate a timing pointer, and buy a degreed damper? If the answer is no then you have no idea what the timing is and they are proving to be somewhat troublesome.
New Clutch
mild cam What mild cam? Most cams will want to rev higher than the stock rev limit.
Skip shift eliminator
Jet Chip Stage 2 Big mistake on a stock motor, absolutely wrong on a modified one.
All new sensors
Royal Purple Fluids/ Redline Fluids RP is good racing oil, for the street it wears out FAST.
new battery
new computer New pcm with stock calibration?
