Gotcha, I was under the impression you were going to stay on 93 octane...which adding injectors would just add another variable into the mix and might do more harm than good. If you're doing flex fuel in the future and installing the kit and all of the other auxiliary stuff it does make sense to go ahead and knock out the injectors at the same time. Plus you only have to get your injectors scaled once :-)

The LW crank pulley thing has been long debated, and I'd be lying if I told you I completely 100% understood the science behind it....but from what I understand the OEM crank pulley acts as a harmonic balancer. Which in other words, it acts as a counterweight to the crankshaft and assists it in balancing how it vibrates. I've read up on harmonic dampening and it gets really deep, 'Q Factor' and shit like that...honestly a lot of it flies over my head. But the moral of the story is that the OEM crankshaft was certainly designed for a reason...and in my opinion I believe that messing with that is a bad idea. Just my two cents, and my apologies if I came across as if I was bashing on your modification choices...I was just trying to put a birdie in your ear.
