I think you'll be fine with your injectors. I'm running cam heads a stall headers e fans the tbss intake with the 87mm TB and my injectors are cool. But now that I think about it you got that side mount supercharger huh? You might need a bigger fuel pump and injector depending on your set up. What kind of set up are you thinking? And yeah I would invest in the msd wires and only run ngk tr6s spark plugs.

your coil packs are fine, as far as fuel and air might as well get the TBSS swap. its got injectors, intake and TB thats basically what im running minus the new TB it helped alot. im running my stock fuel pump still and its doing fine but any more mods ill be upgrading it as well.
