Default building a 2002 6.0

I have a 2002 6.0 with forged ross pistons and stock bottom end. The heads I purchased are lq9 heads for $180, I was told they are basically the same as ls6 heads with a little less compression. They are being professionally ported and adding ss valves. I am definitely doing this build on a budget, I purchased last nite a chevy tahoe intake (compatible4.8,5.3,6.0)complete with injectors throttle body everything stock for a 2004 tahoe cost $150, and a brand new set of 2008 l92 6.2 liter injectors for $100 ebay item 260421307598. I believe they are rated at 47lbs. I dont know cam size yet it will be in a sbsc 81 chevy 4x4 but I will be high speed sand, desert no rock crawling.
I saw this gmpp cam for $304 its prob to much cam and I dont know if it would fit my application.

Will this setup work? what do I need to change? I am shooting for 450-500hp
I need a harness that will work too. Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time. Colby
