OK... Bit the Bullet and Bought an ATI Head Unit

Well its been a long battle between ported heads and FI, but it looks like FI has won. I put down some money for a used ATI D1-SC head unit that I will probably buy if it's in good condition. I obviously would like to complete it and want to know where to start. I am not building a serious racer but just a insane street machine (500-550rwhp). I am trying to get everything used to save some money, including the intercoolers and piping. What else will I need to complete the kit? Here is what I though of so far...

Bracket w/ idlers
ATI crank dampner
ATI crank blower pulley
Dual intercoolers and piping
Plenum or something custom
Fuel injectors
Bypass valve or BOV... (right, either one will work?)

Anything else? Thanks

if youre building it from scratch why not just go with a good fmic setup? even at "only" 500rwhp itd be better than the crappy ati intercoolers.

Yeah, I've been talking to him about his FMIC kit but its a bit too much $$$ than I have to spend.

I will stress this very highly with everyone who goes forced induction. There is no cheap route to doing it right. Weather you buy a good FMIC kit or the stock ATI stuff, you will still have to buy a good bracket setup, a good fuel setup then tuning. So the cost difference to go one way will not be much more than the other.
