Default Winter upgrade

In August of this year i purchased a 2004 C5 with the intention of building a beast. I have taken the last couple of months and did as much research as I possibly could so that I could do everything at once and do it right the first time. I've listented to the arguments over tt's and sc's and finally I have decided to let Andy at A&A put it together for me.

403 CID Forged Short Block
Edelbrock Custom CNC Ported Cylinder Heads
A&A custom grind camshaft
T-Trim Supercharger
60lb injectors, in tank fuel pump, kb boost a pump
Dewitts high capacity radiator
Alky Control Methanol Injection System
FLP5 Transmission
3.42 Diff
2400 Stall Coverter
Ceramic coated American Racing Headers

For those of you that have something similiar what can I expect from the car. I want this car streetable but on the edge.

He has listed: 60lb injectors, in tank fuel pump, kb boost a pump.

That is not the norm for an 04 though.... Usually just the boost a pump is done due to having to drop the tank. However, I doubt that boost a pump alone will supply enough fuel for the kind of power he should make with that set up.

The only thing I did not opt for is a Fast 90mm Manifold with LS2 Throttle Body. Is this an investment that I should go ahead and make?
