FI Question

[stang77]

I have been considering finally going with FI this year. First need to see how $$$$$ is before I pull the trigger. My car is a daily driver with about 77k miles now. I wouldn't be looking to push any crazy numbers. I was thinking between 550-600whp. Question is should I even bother adding the extra power now with my car having high miles? I keep up with my maintenance. I would want to keep boost levels moderate. The kits I would be considering is a Pro Charger stage 2 and the Edelbrock stage 1.

Go with the Procharger stage 2 P1x, it's easy to install and remove if need be. It's reasonably priced. Your 77k miles is fine with either Sc. Procharger's are very reliable and make good power.

Wouldn't the P1x be like over kill for my power goals? Also do you think I should do clutch packs, intermediate shaft, and torque converter to my 6r80?

Not necessarily, it would be around 600 with the ProCharger tune. The blower is capable of much more with professional tuning. Also if you want to save $$ go with the P1x HO kit.

I would probably be sticking with Lund for tuning. I have never had any issues with them. I was looking at the HO kits. Problem is that I was worried if the belt broke while driving the car would be inoperable. I also could just be paranoid.

Just install the ho kit with a gates rpm belt. You will never break that belt under 750whp.
No matter what kit you use you are going to add stress to the accessories belt. If the accessories belt breaks you are inoperable. I keep a spare in my car just in case. Never needed it yet (knock on wood)

I was leaning more towards the HO kit with the P1x or P1SC blower.

The car will make right around 650 on the supplied tune

I purchased the carb legal HO kit with the P1x. It came with the stage2 intercooler. For the power you are looking for it is more than enough. For some reason people think that a h.o kit won’t make big power but trust me it can. Swap some pulleys and it will make the same power as the stage2. I don’t know if Lund will tune it for you because I believe they require a return fuel system on boosted applications

You won’t even need a fuel pump booster for that kind of horsepower. I don’t know if Lund will tune it for you because I believe they require a return fuel system on boosted applications

Yeah 600whp was really my goal anyway. That's why I was looking at the Procharger and Edelbrock kits. I really didn't want to swap tuning devices because I satisfied with Lund and the Ngauge.

The P1X HO kit will do the job for you if that's really what you want hp wise. I have the same exact setup when I started. You got the tires covered as well?

Tires I am good on. I am also getting a cradle lock out done soon.

Nice and change your spark plugs and add 170 TStat too.

I would be getting the Beefcake Special or Lethal Performance kits anyway. Any particular brand spark plug and T Stat I should choose?

Reische 170 TStat and NGK plugs for me. You'll enjoy it for sure.
