Looking at your signature line you pretty much have it covered. The TrickFlow kits really have you covered. Sometimes the kits come with ARP headbolt sealer and sometimes they don't. I'd wait until the kit showed up but don't skip it. Using a thread chaser (7/16 X14) Not a thread tap! chase all the head bolt holes to clean them out before you install the heads. your head gaskets will thank you

I called the guys at Trick Flow to find out what they recommend when I did mine and I suggest that you call them also to confirm the lists I have below.

1. 24# injectors
2. 70mm TB
3. 75mm MAF tuned to 24# inj.
4. minimum 190 lph fuel pump, 255 is better
5. adjustable fuel pressure regulator and gauge
6. a good dyno tune

side note: the cam thrust plate will need to be machined (I did mine by hand with a dremmel) to accept the new bolts supplied with the kit that have a taper head. Also, the marks on the timing chain gears don't look like the diagram in the instructions, so make sure you set them at 0* and not retarded or advanced for the cam timing. Everything else is pretty straight forward, just be sure to check P to V clearance and set the rockers EXACTLY the way they say in the instructions. Good luck.
