Empty garage leaves empty feeling inside

Made the 3 hour drive south to drop my car off at Davenport Motorsports in Calgary today. I know it's in good hands and I hope this trip should put an end to this madness for me. Last spring I got there stage 4 upgrade which consisted of ....
Rotofab CAI
Ported snout w/ 2.55 upper
LPE balancer and 10% lower
Kooks LT ceramic coated w/cat deletes
MSD 8.5 plug wires and Kool soxs
LPE AI cam ( subed for GT9 )
63lb injectors
Comp cams dual valve springs w/titanium locks and retainers

I also added
Rotofab big gulp
Rotofab intercooler reservoir
Cooler logic heat exchanger

In September I went back for an 18% lower and retune. Discovered fuel pressure dropping over 5500 rpm and afr leaning out when retuning. I drove the car home to figure out my options. I ended up with a couple of other mods to add to my list ...
ADM fuel system upgrade
ID850 injectors
LPE CNC ported heads w/LS9 valves
Vmax LSA ported throttle body
Line lock

I'm just wondering what I'm missing. I just want to finish it and put an end to this madness!!! Any other suggestions..without tearing the engine down or changing the blower Islander lol

Seem's like a larger blower for ZL1 owners is last on the list if even on the list at all where as its first or second on the list for GT500/Cobra/FGT owners.

I've noticed a lot of members here throw everything but the kitchen sink at their LSA's before they even think about getting a larger twin screw. Pretty sure there's more SS owners with 2.3L+'s chargers then there are ZL1 owners. A lot of them did the blower first and maybe head's and cam after a while if at all.

I'm not trying to start a war, just an observation.

I think it has to do with aftermarket and horror stories.

The great thing about the ZL1 kitchen sink is that once the larger blower is purchased, they are ready for the upgrade.
