Would it be worth it?

Ok guys,I need some advice. I have a 5.0L that I will be doing a rebuild on (virgin block that will be going .030" over) with TRW forged pistons and C8OE rods ('68 rods with higher nickle content). See: Project BLWNWGN http://www.superchargerhelp.com/showthread.php?t=10352

My question comes in 2 parts.
1: I have a Lightning MAF calibrated for 42# injectors, access to the injectors ................................... For a street driven would it be worth my time and effort to use the 42# injectors, Lighning MAF, a hydraulic roller blower cam with .533"/.544 lift, Paxton SN-92(6 psi) and Ignition/Boost controller pictured above with the right ECM, OR just do a mild build, use the stock cam, get an FMU and call it good??
2: How would the Boost controller work with the ECM and would there be further tuning required due to the injectors? Thanx for the help.

I'm currently running a stock h/c/i plus paxton sn2000 with upgraded impeller which creates about 7.5psi from what I've seen so far. 5 speed, 3.27's, 76mm c&l maf, walbro 255, autolite copper 24's gapped at .038, MSD 6AL, MSD Blaster Coil, MSD Wires, bbk shorty headers, hollowed out factory h pipe, flowmaster delta 40's, bbk 70mm throttle body and spacer, k&n big cone filter, t bolt clamps, 42lb ford injectors etc. Turned my timing down to 8* advanced. I've had zero problems so far with running 42lb injectors on this setup. I ordered a UPR Boostmster Pipe for the setup which I'm hoping will give me 9-10psi. I don't have a wideband, so I cannot tell you what my a/f ratio is, but it doesn't smell rich. I've had small vacuum leaks that made it smell rich, so none of that so far. As long as you have a properly calibrated meter you should be fine. Even better if you have a way to tune it and really dial it in.

Just trying to get things together (assembled) and then dialed in. BABY STEPS, lol.
