Default Vortech build ..Help..

Guys im looking into a vortech for my UK spec non-rev up.
So far im looking at:

Vortech tuner kit
dastek unichip piggy back ecu
walbro 255 fuel pump
deatchworks/denso injectors 440 or 550cc not sure what to go for??
aps/ power enterprise / aam spacer oil pans?? again not sure what to go for ??
AEM wide band o2
defi boost and oil temp

I have dc sports headers, HFC's and a 5zigen system inc. y-pipe already.

Im only looking at running the 3.33 or may be the 3.12 pully and looking for around 325-340rwhp on a DD.

Any help with what parts to go for guys would be great!

As im in the uk my car only runs on shell v-power 99 RON but i may look at water/ meth for safety if i go with the 3.12 pully.

Sound like a safe set up to you guys ?

Thanks .

If you have no plans at all of going for more than 340whp . I would buy a full kit and have it tuned after install .The kit was designed to be safe at that power level and spending a bunch of cash on stuff you dont really need is a waist . Now if you planned on auto-Xing or tracking the car . I might go for more of what you have on your list . No offense intended to the people and shops on this site , but every one likes to over sell and tell guys they need much more than they really do .

Thanks for the replys guys, i track my car on circuts for 20mins or so at a time, ( at my local track Oulton park i average 87mph! ) so i want large injectors as the stock would be at the top end of there duty cycle for a long time and build up heat and could fail??

Im looking into a thermostatic oil cooler to help but do not want to introduce more possible area's to leak ??

The main thing im thinking about is the unichip, i have no utec tuners that i know of in the UK and dont need or want to go with hks fcon.
Peaple always talk about A GOOD TUNE, what is a good tune ?? Level AFR's around 11.5 ?? No knocking ??

Ideas guys? thanks .
