If you're not doing heads or a fast 90, I wouldn't worry about injectors. However, since you are going with a the MS3...I'd think about getting some Yella Terra or harland sharp rockers. (1.7 ratio is stock)...think they would complement your PRC Spring, pushrod upgrade.
build started! got goin on the tear down tonight. got started around 5 took an hour out for dinner and quit at 9. I got the intake pulled off, fixed my shrader valve, and pulled my oil sending unit off (that I didnt break this time!) and put teflon tape on the threads and torqued that lil sob down so hopefully no more oil leaky! got it up in the air, got the radiator drained, all unhooked and ready to pull out of the car when ive got some more help in the morning.
think I made some pretty decent progress for 3 hours of work.
just some of the parts
and the intake pulled off

Yeah, I would look into speed inc man. They are probably the best tuner in the Illinois area.
I did make it to a few of the Saturday night events but never did take the car. Most of the time I was in carbondale I was building a motor for my old T/A... only to sell it when I moved back to Peoria and buy a Camaro lol

all dyno's are different. the tuner told me they could take my car 10 miles down the road and put it on a dyno that would say im makin 415rwhp. said he had done it before without touching the tune just to prove a point. i was on the back of the rollers too. so no big deal bein under 400... i just didnt want something to be wrong and stick me in the 360 range or something. I could probably port the TB and finish the exhaust behind the Y and touch 400 on that dyno.
Its enough to kill my rear end as it is
lol. definately think i lost power down low but i expected that. Once i get into the 3,600 range it really lights up. and up towards the high 5,000's my heads plastered back and Im starin out my T-Top. Im happy 
oh and ive got the 853 heads

2 dyno vids. the one taken from the front was the first pull and only pulled to 6,000. the video taken from behind was later and pulled to 6,400. enjoy my dads comment at the end of the first one... he didnt realize you have to push the butten to turn the camera off.
