I ran stock injectors but was hitting 100% DC with just the cam, so you WILL need injectors. Do you have headers? This cam prefers long tubes for sure. I used the Combination motorsports single valvesprings that are good to 600 lift with no problems. I'd recommend beehive springs though if you can afford them, probably worth a couple hp. The one thing I can't stress enought tho, is to put in a new oil pump with GM white spring. It's cheap insurance against a spun bearing. If something happens with that, you know the motor was getting ready to go anyways. I didn't even mess with the LT4 timing chain. Comp 1.6 pro mags are the best rockers to use, but definitely not the cheapest.

I would definitely upgrade to a stronger timing chain set, such as the LT4. Also, as for the rockers, an NSA rocker with guideplates would be your best bet as would chromemoly pushrods.
