Everything you said will work but I don't think your stock injectors will be up to the job. If you change injectors then you will need pcm tuning. You might need a little anyway for idling.

I think the max rwhp for th 99 injector is in the low 300s. They should be fine as long as you keep the rpms down. It should run fine on the stock tune, but obviously you will see good gains with tuning.

I think you'll love the power gains over your stock 99 5.3 and the 100 pound weight loss will be nice too.
