The car drives close to stock, but still getting used to the clutch since you need to give it a bit more gas to take off. I am very happy with the way everything turned out 
My setup is:
G5x3 cam
LG Pros w/ no cats
DIY Port and Polished stock LS6 Heads
.04 cometic had to flycut .025 on the intake non on exhaust
PRC dual spring w/ hardened pushrods
LS2 time chain and LS7 lifter
25% powerbond pulley
P&P TB
Dual k&n filter (not sure that even helps)

Code P0106 is pretty normal for a larger cam. It can be tuned out. Both HPT and EFIlive have P0106 min/max fail tables, that need to be adjust, because with a cam with that profile, the idle vacuum is such that the computer doesnt like it.
You dont need to turn off the code, or anything like that. You (your tuner) need to tweak the tables, setting the max fail at 0 and 10% throttle versus 800/1600 rpm, up to around 85 Kpa, where as the stock settings are something like 65 or so @ 0%/800 rpm.
Any tuner worth his weight will know this, and know how to tune it out.

The P0300 (and flashing CE light) is normal at idle for a big cam. It will be tuned out. You should not see it while driving, or holding it at a steady rpm above the choppy idle point.
If you drive the car, you will probably also toss a P0101 (MAF) code. This one is also somewhat normal for the mods you've done and should also be cured with the tune..
The P0106 is a MAP sensor code, not normal, and is one that suggests a possible intake or vacuum leak. Do you hear any odd noises (ie; whistling sound) while it's running? I know it's probably hard to tell, as it certainly sounds completely different than what you were used to.
