Default Time for boost!

Greetings! Looking for some advice. I have a Blueprint LS3 in my 2000 Silverado. It currently has a DBC throttle body from Holley and is running on the stock computer. It's got about 2000 miles on the combo so far and I've got it running really well and am mostly happy with the setup. There are a couple of things I want to fix, however.

Sometimes (especially when it gets very cold) it doesn't like to start very quickly. In fact, when it gets very cold (0 degrees or thereabouts) it won't start without opening the throttle a bit. I assume that the IAC just can't accommodate such a wide temperature range. If I open the throttle blade any more I can't keep the idle where I want it when it's hot. I'm going to swap over to a DBW throttle body and run it all off of a Terminator X Max. This change will also allow me to ditch my 58 tooth converter box and swap fuels as well. Here's the one I think I need: https://www.holley.com/products/fuel.../parts/550-928

I also want to add a little boost and potentially run e85 in the summer. I'm looking at this LSA blower: https://speed-engineering.com/collec...percharger-kit I'll swap in some new injectors when I make the change so I can try some e85 in the summer.

Any issues with this setup? Anything I'm missing?

I am doing a lsa swap now, it should bolt right on to your LS3 heads. No need for that adapters. I would search a few lsa builds on here because they have a list of parts that could be needed outside of that kit. Things like a heat exchanger, HX pump, E85 sensor, bigger fuel pump if you dont have one already. These are just examples
