Either 60 or 80lb high impedance injectors and either a walbro 340 or 450 depending on hp goals

Not unless you want north of 600whp. 60lbers will actually handle 600whp,but you'd want the 450.

60pph injectors also means your tune will not need to be scaled. Adding meth injection on top of this will give you a good cushion. A 450lph pump and a hot wire/Boost-A-Pump are a good upgrade for the stock power supply.

Beyond that, you can probably put 10-12lbs into the engine to make your power goals with a D1SC (skip the P1 - pay the extra money on this for later). Nothing else is required other than a good tune.

Decent headers would be a bonus.
