unless you're raising the compression by more than 2 points, forget the injector mods, dont need them.

not sure what you need help with, just go to the dyno and tune the gears.

Yeah, get it dyno tuned, don't want to advance or even retard anything too far or bye bye motor--Sometimes same engines w/ same mods varies in tuning.
