Default FI install nearing completion, anything left out?

So I have an APS TT kit, UTEC w/ map sensor and switch, APS plenum, new strut tower bar to clear that, test pipes, fuel system, getting some stuff jet-hot coated, the short-block is built (JE+Eagle+ARP), new ARP head hardware, Cosworth/cometic gaskets, necessary OEM gaskets, new water and oil pump, ATS twin-carbon clutch, and finally, I plan on upgrading my radiator and adding a better oil-cooler before long...

Is there anything important I am forgetting? I don't want any major hang-ups or problems - I'm a firm believer in doing stuff right the first time. I probably didn't NEED the fuel system or clutch as I'm only shooting for 400 very reliable horsepower, but I wanted to make sure I had some growing room too...

Might as well upgrade the fuel injectors to RC 650s as EVERYONE always wants more power later .

Oops, I do have gauges, forgot to mention that. Exhaust is the Nismo (love the sound and again, modest power goals).

Did you read my post? The APS kit has an improved oil pan / uprated capacity - and I have a full replacement plenum.

Brakes / suspension is taken care of...
