I would do new springs with any aftermarket cams. You injectors should be fine.

Yes, the timing gears that are connected by a chain to the crankshaft to keep the cams turning at the same rate as crankshaft so your valves dont hit the pistons and cause a motor meltdown. And i read your sig...muffler delete with longtubes is gonna sound horrible. Just food for thought. Your injectors should be fine. Friend running stock injectors with a 125 shot of nitrous and no problems so stage 1 cams should be fine. as for rear gears, there are 2 main choices that everyone suggests. 3.73's and 4.10's are the most popular ratios. 3.73's are good for boost or planning on boost but most people that are not gonna run boost go with 4.10's. I went with 4.10's and they rock!!! They are so much fun. Makes the car a lot more enjoyable. So for you, i'd say go with 4.10's seeing as that cam looks to be an n/a cam.

Not true, if you have a built motor the 19lb/h injectors are not gonna cut it.

Shorty headers are a no go..

Long tubes or bust.
