Default Opinions & tips on my 408 build

I am building a low compression 408 for my 02 rcsb silverado. I would like some tips and opinions on my build. The motor consists of a iron block 408 with forged 26cc dished Mahle pistons, Scat H beam rods, an Eagle forged crank. The heads are patriot performance cnc ported 6.0 heads with .650 lift springs I have 1.7 Harland Sharp shaft roller rockers and a TSP magic stick 3 cam which specs out at lift .603 int/.609 exh duration 237*int/242*exh with a 114 lsa. The intake is a victor junior with an elbow and 85mm throttle body with 60 lb. injectors and a SLP 85mm MAF sensor. I plan on running about 14 psi of boost. Any help would be much appreciated.

combo sounds good minus the cam. that cam isnt a boost friendly cam. it was meant to be a pure NA combo. and how ocme you went with the 85mm tb instead of the more user friendly 90mmtb? also why did you go with the SLP 85mm maf when a stock truck maf is the same minus the resistor[resistor is used so you dont have to calibrate the maf from the car calibration]

personally i would get rid of those rockers, stockers are more then enough, get rid of the cam and go with a custom ground for your appication, ditch the SLP maf, ditch the 85mm tb

this would net your more money to put towards the odds and ends of your combo.
