To Force Inject or Not - That is the question!

Given the current regulatory issues, would you still consider doing a FI build?

Given all the latest regulatory crackdowns, would you still be willing to do a FI build seeing as the aftermarket tuner companies may not be around too much longer (assuming you do not want a "defeat" tune that disables emissions components)?

I have been waiting for my Whipple kit to arrive and I have been having second thoughts about installing it now. When I ordered it things were different (and I missed the writing on the wall)! I do suppose I could go with the Whipple CARB approved tune, although I ordered the tuner kit with nGauge (which I now have) and it would be nice to dial in a nice safe tune (and keep my cats).

I've been looking at building a project car either this year or next. N/A, but cams, headers, etc. Can't do that without a tune.

Curious to hear everyone's feedback.

Put the whipple EO# sticker on the car and use whatever tune you want, so long as it keeps all emissions devises.

Ummmm I didn't say that.

My car is currently in the shop getting a stage 2 Whipple kit installed along with the Whipple 50 state legal tune. I say go that route and go have some fun. Yes, my stock cats are a concern (I always planned to run them), but I'm confident they will last a good amount of time given the safety measures in the whipple tune. Now if they fail....not sure what happens then. LOL

I was literally about to post a similar thread.. I’m thinking of going with VMP gen3r budget kit or even their Loki kit but now I’m worried about what happens if down the line there are no tuners to hell if we run into problems.

There's nothing wrong with Whipples EO approved tunes. I say run it. I did for a year before setting out to achieve a drag strip goal. I'm now considering going back to that configuration, for the safety, drivability, and potential resale of the car, doubt I ever will, but its nice to have the option if times get hard.

What are you goals with the car. Aftermarket tuning usually is best when you are trying to do some thing specific like launch the car with the least amount of tire spin, or run a fuel thats not ~14.1 Stoich. If you are just looking for a fast and fun street driven car, and you don't have any parts that need to be covered by an after market calibration, just stick with the Whipple calibration.
