way over kill. you have the stock cam, a crappy set of heads and a horrible intake. stock injectors are fine and a 65-70mm tb would be enough. keep in mind that a larger tb will net you no hp gain at all if your still using the stock maf. a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and the maf is the weakest link (i.e. smallest opening)

second that. instead of the injectors, get the maf calibrated for your injectors and the 65-70mm throttle body.

The SSI intake isn't a very liked intake...... You really don't need bigger injectors but all you would need if you really do is 24#s. The heads are not crappy. They are better than e7's but then again compared to pretty much any aluminum head they don't stand a chance.
