Default Questions about injectors, boost, headers and more....

I am finally in a spot that I am comfortable enough with my finances that I am going to bite the bullet and get some boost. The setup that I am going to go with is supposed to be making 6lbs of boost. It come with a tune and everything, but it is setup to be run on a stock setup. So me thinking the way that I do, thats not good enough. So right off the bat I am thinking custom tune. But then I don't think that my stock injectors are going to be enough to handle that amount of boost with an aggressive tune. So does anybody know what the stock injectors flow on the 4.3 and where I can get more suitable injectors.
Also, more in means more air out. So I am going to be getting a new exhaust. Headers off road y and high flow mufflers with duel exhaust. Problem is, all I can find for my truck is shorty headers. I would like to go with full length. The only full length headers that I can find for the 4.3 are for S-10s. Would S-10 headers work on my truck? Are there any full length header for my truck that I am not finding?
Is there anything else that I need to optimize this setup?

Thanks Josh

you know, you could probably make more power and spend less money by doing a V8 swap.

I know. I have decided not to go that route tho.

I am starting to think that I am not going to get any help here.
