Get a 5.3 and back the boost down to 6ish for now until you get bigger injectors and the tune nailed. You might consider putting rod bolts in your motor while it is out of the car so you can bump the boost up later.
What fuel pump are you running?

You may consider running a second pump just to be safe, the level of comfort on FI applications with that pump is around 475rwhp. Iknow your a ways off from that rwhp level but with a cammed 5.3 and 12lbs you will be close, plus with 1 pump working almost 100% duty cycle it will reduce its life, 2 pumps splitting the load will last longer and have no troubles supplying your engines fuel requirement. Send your injectors off to have them flowed out to 42ish lbs/hr that will kill 2 birds with one stone (fully clean and upgrade)
FI is a neighborhood where overkill in the fuel department is a good idea.

Well I can't say that I agree with everything you've done, but I sure as hell give you credit for trial and error and the learning process you're going through. That's the only way people did it back in the day. I give you madd props my friend. Looking forward to your new motor.
