You're going to have to replace valve springs with any cam you swap in, so whats the big problem with doing injectors too? They're easier than valve springs.

Also what other mods do you have, what motor, what color is the truck, is it a regular cab, is it even a chevy?

You gave us no info at all about your truck

Spray a 150 wet shot and don't worry about it. Stock fuel pump will be fine, injectors will be close.
