What sort of fueling upgrades would I need and what is that looking at for cost? Injectors and do I need both high and low side fuel pumps? I think I read somewhere that the high is no longer needed. I have only just recently started going down this path and doing ACTUAL modifications to the car. In the past I have done things on cars like a piggyback tune which does add noticeable power but not an option on this platform.
I have seen a few stage 2 fueling kits that are about 2k which include a lot of the LT4 fueling components that can just directly replace what I currently have.
I would love to install the supercharger myself. The only thing that I have seen that looks scary is some of the supercharger kits require removing the crank pulley which just doesn't look fun. There is a kit that is fully belt driven that I mentioned in my first post and looks to be the least intrusive supercharger. Also I suppose, with modifications, always want more, which supercharger will allow for more boost without a retrofit of something else? Still trying to learn as much as I can about this.

Start with the fueling aspect as that will help with your build down the road. The LT4 fueling stuff is crazy expensive right now, so talk to the guys at TooHigh PSI about port injection plates and controller. Weigh those costs against the LT4 HP fuel pump, LT4 injectors, and some LP fueling either by DSX aux kit or JMS voltage booster. Flex fuel kit would be high on my list. Running E is a no brainer.
Talk to Ted over at Janetty as his brawler packages are pretty good, if you don't want to do any work yourself. Sounds like you are in the planning stage, so make plenty of calls and talk to some of the experts.
