You can only run the vt computer if you have a Vs s3 maf loom (very difficult to come across and very expensive).

Best/easiest way is to use a 424 pcm from map based VS. You won’t notice a performance decrease from the map based engine management.

You just need a Vn-Vs intake manifold for the iat sensor, other than that it’s plug and play.

With parts availability for the Vs maf based stuff, it’s probably your only option.

Btw, don’t be tempted to fit a flat tappet cam in place of the roller cam. Saw a bloke on Facebook the other week trying to *upgrade* from a stock roller cam to a crane 276 (flat tappet) which is actually a downgrade lol

Seems that the crow 4903 is about as big as you can go with minimal mods. You’d need roller rockers, springs/locks/retainers, coated cam gear, timing set etc. you can get away without a Histall but stall will always help.
