at this point based on your mods, you don't even need one. get a new stock unit.

What are you going to need it for?

What do you mistakenly think it will accomplish?

Use a stock regulator, get injectors of proper size, and tune with the pcm.

get injectors later on. having a pretty looking regulator wayyyyy in the back of the fuel rail under the cowl and out of sight is pointless.

You can also do the same thing with a good tune. No need for the adj reg unless you run forced induction or nitrous. For cams and motor work larger injectors and a tune are perfectly fine.

Where are you getting your tune from? I used pcm for less. Was half that. Also it's only $50 after the first tune to get anything changed.

PCM for less is in Indiana PA. I went to the guys house to have mine done and he's been tuning these cars since they were new. He spent a lot of time on dynos and will dyno tune if you have a local dyno to use. Just telling him the mods I had was more than enough for him to give me a better tune than I expected. Just another option. The guy's name is Bryan Herter. His email is on the PCM for less site if you'd like to ask any questions.
