Interesting. My buddies with '08 LS3 cars have borrowed my (stock) LS2 throttle body to dyno against their ported stockers to see if there were any gains. There weren't. 
I had to use this wiring harness to hook up my LS2 TB to my ECM:

Maybe the '09 TB is different?
I have gotten the code you mention once, it was because I forgot to plug the TB in. :embarrassed:

Btw.. Congrats on getting yours up and running and it seems like, running real well

28-30 is good. My first setup I ran 12:1 CR and could only add 24-25 degrees of timing. Lowered to 11:3 and could run 28-30 degrees and picked up about 15-20RWHP IIRC.

I notice that you do not have a regulator on the fuel rails. Did you have to change anything in the fuel system, or can you run with no regulator??? I'm switching to a ported ls2 intake as soon as my casper harnesses arrive, and the only thing I am unsure of is the regulator...

Digging up an old thread, do the LS3/7 rails connect in the same location as C5 stuff? Looking to either use LS3 or 7 rails (depending on whats on ebay) for a stock looking setup. Just wondering if they are almost plug and play (other than injector harnesses) with the stock C5 fuel lines.

I have the (as far as I know) correct tables for the LS3 injectors for hptuners for the gen 3 pcm that I'll post when I get a chance, but they're on my PC laptop and I'm surfing on the mac at the time. It's not an obvious translation from one to the other but I used a 2008 C6 tune to derive the tables and driveability is pretty good so I'm pretty confident they're at least close enough to correct to work.
