That's a bummer, hope the new engine works out well. But on the injectors, yeah never run anything different than what the tune specifies. That could mean running on stock injectors until you can get a tune, getting a base tune adjusted for new injectors, or towing the car to the tuner.

FYI - last time I spoke with Chad Golen, he had a couple of LS2 block cores on the shelf (not on website). It's been several weeks so they may be gone. But few are more respected than Golen for LS engine building.

That sounds AWESOME.
From one who has gone there. Unless you want a drag track only car that "one thousand" number is mostly for marketing. The most I've run and still had fun with is 625rw. I ran the 427/SC 16psi E85 for all of two weeks last summer and as fun as it is to scare yourself the car ends up ileirher in cruise mode perpetually because anything more than that turns tires into their gaseous state or you're out somewhere with three lanes open and giving it a goose and then running out of straight road and slowing down again. That car was over 1krw. NA h/c somewhere between 450 and 550rw sounds epic. Or a small displacement (stock) with a small cam and nice bottom end with a turbo with Mac valves.... That let's you do anything you want all up and down the performance range.

Thanks, I am at the limit and beyond of what i wanted to spend on everything. Even though it makes more sense to do it all at once and be done, i think ill wait a year or two before getting a bigger tb or intake which at this point is probably limiting this build.
