everything sounds good to me. Just experiment with your combo and if I were you I would lower your fuel preasure a tad (42-45psi) but just play with it and see what you like best.

POrt match your upper intake with all the parts you can. You are hitting the flow limits of the stock runners and base. If I were you I would buy a set os SLP runners port match everything to them and either port your intake or get an eldelbrock piece. Everything else seems good, but a custom prom or one from Fastchip would really help to. Your fuel pressure seems to high though, are you running rich?
