Sounds good, but......

Forget the AEM and use a stock airbox with a drop-in filter.

Forget the ignition box. its unnecessary uless you start pouring on the boost.

Yes, the TWs will work on a 347.

you have to match the egr to the tb so if you go up to 70mm on the tb you will have to do the same with the egr.
the set up sounds good but i agree about the cai. they are worthless. just pull out the air silencer and put in a flat filter in the stock box. youll also want to upgrade the maf. with a 70mm tb id run 76-80mm maf
id get the msd box, coil and wires. all 3 together are supposed to add about 10hp and they make the car much more responsive

The tfs h/c/i kit will bolt right on to a 347 BUT you will need pistons that'll work with tfs heads. I suggest probe srs pistons.

Use a 75mm tb. Don't waste your money on an msd, its useless at your level like tits on a bull.

Use 30lb injectors and a 255 fuel pump.

I agree, don't waste any money on that "cold air kit".

I hope you're not gonna use a tfs street intake and a tfs stage 1 cam on a 347?? Thats WAY too small. It'll make a bit more under the curve power, but not much more up top over the 302. Maybe 315rwhp with that kit + shorty headers on a 347. I also hope you're not gonna use 1 5/8" shortys on a 347??

if you are getting TFS kit get TW kit, i think 70mm TB is ok for both engines and dont waste on CAI, the MSD is not needed get only a good coil, and get LT's hedders 1 5/8, 24's work for the 302 but for the 347 you need little more.
