Default Next Engine Mods?

All - I have been accumulating some parts lately and am now thinking about the next phase of my 90 LX Stang 5.0 project. Here are the mods I currently have:
- Mild rebuild approx 15k miles
- Vortech S-1 blower w/3.33 pully
- Eddy Performer Intake, upper & lower
- Trick Flow TW Heads
- 24# injectors

Here are mods I am considering - Parts I have:
- Install FMS F303 cam
- Installing 255lph fuel pump
- Install 42# injectors
- Pro-M 80mm MA
- Install performance fuel injector rails
- Install Aluminium pulleys
- Install duel electric fan

Questions: Are there any other mods I should consider in this next build-up? Are any of these mods a concern? What else should I consider? What kind of performance should I expect with this set up?

I plan to take the car to a engine dyno turner rigth after these mods...

Well the engine was rebuilt by the previous owner - I have all the receipts. It looks like the rods were polished and peened with hardend cap bolts. The crank was cleaned up, etc. I don't think a girdle was installed.
