Default Tuning conversion for 5.0

Ok so I just bought at 92 SSP with stock bottom, trickflow: heads,cam, intake, Powerdyne 9lb supercharger(I know they are crap) MSD ignition. Well right now it has a FMU and no boost retard unit that I can see. I want to change it over to more of a computer controlled tuning. So what I can tell that I need is: 24lb injectors, MAF housing for 24lb, 190 or 255lph fuel pump(If it doesn't already have one...have to check), and then I was thinking of going with SCT chip and getting it dyno tuned. My question is will that control timing with boost and is that all I need? Do I need the new MAF housing or will the 76mm one it has now work? Thanks for the help guys.

you need 36-42# injectors, a good maf, a 255lph pump, and a tune. throw the FMU in the garbage.

Ok so would you recommend just getting the 42s so I have room for upgrade? Also by good maf you mean housing or the actual mac sensor? Thanks for the help!

by a "good maf" i mean getting rid of the C&L that you are probably using, and getting a GOOD MAF. Like an SCT BA, or PMAS. An LMAF could be used as well, but they run out of resolution around 450hp(so ive heard)
