1LE Upgrades

I have been getting this car ready to roll for 5 years now and I finished everything last year. But, I couldn't get the 1LE off of my mind and just had to pull the trigger. It was that or a c8... and I think at 6'4" 300 lbs that I might be a smidge too big for a c8 haha.

Anywho, I am reading a lot of conflicting "Facts" on here and I want to see what direction I am going to go when I mod this lil guy. Do it once, do it right. I want to be close to what I had before but in a 1LE haha. So, can I get clarification on the following things from you guys?

-Heard injectors are good to 900+rwhp, heard they aren't. I know I am going to need a pump at 700+. I had the DSX kit in my '13 and I dug it. Will do again. When do I need to worry about redoing the injectors? I have a 6.2 DI in my '18 half ton and know how important the catch cans are so it will more than likely be on the first round of mods.

-Was the oil issue on the A10 fixed in '19? Still see guys recommending a pump on 19's and I see guys saying that it was fixed.

-Heard the motor and block need to be pulled to put in a cam/oil pump. I am just seeing how in depth this is going to get haha.

-This SC is smaller than the '13 zl1. But, has less heat soak, even when pullied. I know cooling was huge in the '13. I will still be doing cooling but how much is really needed? I don't want to go to the 2650. I will be porting this guy.

-The LT4 is stronger than a LSA? I have seen a lot of people having oil issues on the their LT4 and I really have not seen a lot of issues on a LSA.

I fear about buyers remorse haha. I love my current car but I do know that I am getting a better car. I just want to make sure that I am not trading in to get something really finicky and PIA to get right haha.
I would do the Jannetty 125+ Rwhp flex fuel upgrade and call it a day.
