What Maf, Injectors, Fuel Pump, Tuning?

So I'm swapping a built 351W into my '92 fox hatch. I've got a pretty good handle on what I need to put the engine into the car and fit it to the T5, (minus the flywheel, looking for a neutral balance flywheel that will fit).
Besides that I'm not exactly sure what MAF, injectors, fuel pump, regulator and tune I should go with?
The engine is a bored and stroked to 393 using a scat kit, will have a cam that should be good from 1500-6000rpm, can get specs if that helps, heads will be performer rpm's with the 2.02 valves, FFRP tubular upper intake with a lightning lower intake plenum, probably 75mm TB.
I'm used to speed density set-ups on older fuel injected engines, I quite understand the MAF/injector sizing. From what I've seen 30 lb. injectors and MAF for them should be about right for my engine combo, I figured a 255lph pump, probably BBK fuel rails and fuel pressure regulator. Does this make sense? Do I still need a tune for my stock computer?
Or... ditch the MAF and get the injectors, pump, rails, regulator and a stand-alone fuel injection system. I know this route is more money now but being able to change things or add boost down the road is nice.
Any thoughts? Anything I'm missing?
Thanks in advance

You are putting heads and an intake designed for a mild 302 on a 393. I would save the money on a standalone system and put it towards a better induction package. 30's should be ok on that set up as is.
 
You're gonna need to tune that thing no matter what heads you put on it. Keep your options open. Tweeker, Moates, PMS, etc....probably your least expensive route. That said, I agree with the others. The Performer RPM isn't nearly enough head for a 393. If you insist on sticking with the Edelbrocks, look into a set of Victor Jr's. If you never plan on going with a power adder, go with a set of 30's and at least a Pro-M 80mm. And for the cost, you really can't beat a 255lph high pressure pump.
 
If you're just going to use the parts you listed then a 80mm pro m and 30's will work but the 30's are on the small side. I'd go with 42's as is and if you plan on a power adder or a better topend, I'd go to bigger(60's-80's depending on what you're doing). Problem is your entire topend parts are to small. That intake won't let that motor make any power above 5k. The heads are a choke point also. The combo you are designing is a torque monster. Would be perfect in a truck. Also you're going to break the T5. It will not last long.

What are your intentions/desires for this motor? Right now you'll probably be around 375- 400rwhp and 450rwtq. If you add a better topend you'll see an extra 75-100hp and slightly more torque. I'd use at least a 205cc head,a better intake(tfs r box,super Vic efi or Vic Jr efi intakes), a 90mm throttle body and a 4"cai. With those mods I'd add bigger injectors. Probably 60's. Anything above 30-36# injectors will Definetly need a tune(for maximum driveability and power you need one anyway). You also need a good exhaust system. 1 3/4-1 7/8" long tubes and 2 1/2" exhaust at a minimum. You also mention going with a neutral balanced flywheel. Is your motor neutral balanced? Most 393's are 28oz.
 
Ok so heads are already ordered, intake is going on because I like the look and I have it. In the far off future I'll upgrade the intake and maybe a stand alone set-up too. For now probably a MAF setup. Just wondering which to go with. Reliable Street car only, probably will never race it. 1 3/4" long tubes I figure, those bbk's are easy to get. I've had pretty good luck with BBK parts so far. Pro M is nice stuff too.
I'll be nice to it to keep the t5 alive but I know I'm kidding myself.
The scat rotating kit is internally balanced too, thus finding the flywheel is tricky, just try harder I guess.
Now for tuning is the sct chip good enough? Don't hear much bad about them.
All the parts I have now can easily be sold in the future and still make a few bucks. I havent seen good heads and intakes for sale used in about 6 months. Slim pickings where I live.
Anyways thanks for the input.
