Looks like a nice mean well thought out combo. That lil 4.8 is going to be full of **** 'n' vinegar that's for sure. Any word from Ed how long it's going to take to get your cam? I bet 2 weeks or so since he checks them out before sending it to you to make sure it's exactly the way it's supposed to be. Your 90mm intake looks like one of those ebay take off's. It looks just like mine 
I plan on putting in my FTI cam maybe next weekend if I can get my truck out of storage (backyard is like a swamp with the thawing going on) and maybe I'll get to the intake if I'm lucky. For you I would have liked to seen the heads/cam be installed, dyno'd, raced and then lastly swap the intake, retune, dyno and race 
Keep us up to date as to how everything is coming along!

I am running stock LS1 injectors 28.8, long story why... But with my current setup i am running about 84% at 6600 @ 12.6-7 AFR.... Depending on what the new setup does I might be switching to some 8.1 marines...

Looks like a nice thought out build, I like that intake, and those heads are sweet 
When are you going to know the specs on the cam?
Hey, while you have it apart, you might want to build a "dam" of RTV aound the knock sensor connectors to help keep moisture out and save the connectors from getting corroded, there's a TSB in reference to this
