Default Going over my list for STS install...please tell me if I'm missing something

OK. Getting a STS kit from a friend this week. Installing next week. Here's what I'm getting with the kit:

STS kit w/ -67 turbo
Meth injection
Boost gauge
Blowoff valve
42# injectors

What I ordered today:

Racetronix fuel system w/ Walboro 255gpm pump.
AEM wodeband A/F gauge
PCM with custom tuning to cover the turbo + my current setup.

Anything glaring that I'm forgetting? Also, if I have a wideband O2 gauge monitoring A/F, would a fuel pressure gauge be that important? I'll know if it's running lean, just not the exact fuel pressure......

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How about an Electronic Boost controller. It could work in conjunction with the meth system. That's all I can think of besides maybe a FMIC.

get bigger injectors, 42s are really easy to run out of with the t67

Thanks for the replies. Already have 918 springs w/ titanium retainers and hardened pushrods. I have a TR224 cam in the car now.

I was at 93% duty cycle at 7.3psi. I am now somewhere around 9psi, and starting to go lean. I see 60's in my near future.

I'll be honest with ya, I'm glad I DIDN'T get 60's. I'm currently running so pig-rich at WOT with the 42's that it's causing the car to stumble. This is WITH an aftermarket tune. Getting the tune smoothed out tomorrow. Things should be better then.
