Default Trick Flow top end kit question....

Hey guys, I'm going to pulled the trigger and ordered the Trick Flow street heat top end kit. Kit comes with Twisted Wedge aluminum cylinder heads, street heat upper and lower intake, camshaft, roller rockers, pushrods, gasket kit and double roller timing chain. So, the questions are, what size TB and MAF should I go with? Also, what size injectors should I go with? I already have stock block and internals, Mac equal length headers, Mac o/r h pipe and 40 series flowmasters, Walbro 255 fuel pump, MSD Coil, MSD distributor, MSD wires and 4.10 gears. Will my Mac headers work with the Trick Flow heads? What plugs should I use? Should I have a custom tune to get the most of this set up? I know this is a lot to throw at you guys, but all info. would be greatly appreciated! P.S. Also ordered the TKO 600 My wife is going to divorce me.....lol

Thinking about that later on, will the Trick Flow kit support a super charger?

your gonna want some kind of tune.

and 70 mm tb 24 % injectors and a 75mm maf will all be plenty for this and a little room to grow.

the trickflow kit tends to produce 280 to 290 rwhp which is okay but if you piee together your own kit you may save a few dollars and make more hp...but if you just want everything to show up on your doorstep at once then the trickflow kit can provide that....and the kit can support a supercharger to a degree ..just depends how much boost you wanna run..you'll reach a point where the fuel system will need upgrading as the kit will use most of the stock inj potential not leaving much room for the supercharger..and a tune is always a good thing
