I think you are on the right track and these guys are providing some great suggestions on how to make a reliable package. I think the only things that we didn't talk about was fuel and tune or engine management system. If you have the $$$, you might want to also get an Aeromotive fuel system with atleast 50# injectors & a damn good tune or an aftermarket engine management system. These are the only things that allowed us to run a 10 sec pass at full weight with 16 psi without scattering the engine. I went with Accel DFI Gen VI because I had one of the best DFI tuners in the country tuning the car. I'm in the process of upgrading to a Gen VII and installing a built engine and P&P heads. You might want to also consider what kind if modified 4.6 tuners you have in your area. This is important because it might impact the route you take in regards to the fuel system, Dynotuned chip or management system.
As far as poweradder, you can go with a TDC Stage IIx, Novi 2000 w/intercooler & Procharger D-1SC to get the power you are looking for. You also might want to compare prices on built shortblocks because there are some new players proving them other than SHM & Houston Performance. DSS Racing, DTA Performance & Racing & a few others that I will provide later.
