Combo sounds very good.

Only prob i see is too much carb. A 650 dbl pump will be more torquey & make more power. Will save you on fuel as well.

Good Luck

when I put my engine together it was about the same combo, I have the same cam but I have the older verson with abit more lift (see sig) DON"T change the carb I had a 600 cfm and then a 750 on mine orginally and the 750 ran allot better (the 1000 cfm EFI I have now is allot better -abit expencive though- lets see 506 hp at the flywheel, 20-25 mpg, no hard starting on cold days, great throttel responce- yeah it was worth $2000- next upgrade is a supercharger). it won't pull allot more than a stock 5.7 until you get a set af heads that have 2.02/1.60 valves and high flow #'s also look into getting crane or rodes variable duration lifters, it will help out with idle through mid-range torque (that cam is alittle lumpy)
