I've thought of this as I have to pass an obdII inspection. My thoughts are if a 700+rwhp shelby with a KB (super snake) can be 50 states legal then for sure a 4.6 with a whipple shouldn't have any problems. This is also the reason I chose to go with the gt500 injectors.
He will need a tuner that knows his s#it well regarding emissions.

You may be targetting the low 600srwhp.
A set of 60# injectors, your actual pumps may or not get you there, a BAP may be in order.
Better than swicthing all the pulleys, I would look into the new steeda whipple drive system. I haven't checked pricing, no idea on how it would compare to a 8 rib set and a new tensioner. But it looks pretty stout and with the separate belt is awesome.
If you can get heads and cams at once you can save your bro a lot of work in the long run.
I don't know how much you intend to spend into the car. All this things sum up, a lot.

I've got the same project going that you do. Here's my list of mods i'm doing. 298 livernois stroker, ARP hardware, GT500 47# injectors, Mcleod RST clutch, fidanza steel 8 bolt flywheel, debating on innovators west 10% overdrive w/8 rib conversion or steeda's whipple drive, 2.85" supercharger pulley, whipple 1750cfm mono blade throttle body, and custom dyno tune, not related but also installing 3.73 gears.
Your gonna need at least upgraded injectors, clutch or torque converter (stock isn't the best, but may work), 8 bolt flywheel or flexplate, pulley arrangement to get to 16psi, throttle body to take advantage of 16psi, and of course the dyno tune. If your manual you may want to look into getting a 26 spline input shaft or if auto a stronger trans. I'm doing a tr-6060 conversion when funds allow. I'd also recommend the use of ARP fasteners.

The Steeda belt tentioner kit looks nice but i belive the tentioner is the same princable as the stock GT, that is it depends on a spring to hold the belt tight , where the Joe 8 rip has a tentioner that is a machinal lock. I am also looking at a booster pump to keep up with the fuel as well as a 26 spline input shaft.I am already lowered with sport springs ,4:10 gears, pro 50 shifter, 20" wheels with 315/35/zr20 in the rear , as well as the suspension work to keep the wheels to the pavement. Steeda also says that there 16# pully is months away and I will probably want to go higher.
