Default Do I just need to change heads to go FI?

I have terminator heads shaved to 11:1 compression for my na setup but have been thinking about FI. I have an LME forged 347 (wiseco flat top pistons with -2cc valve reliefs). Do I just need to swap heads to drop compression? I have a racetronix and svo 30# injectors as well as nasty's fuel rails. What do i need to go FI?

Welll what kind of FI are we talking about??? I honestly would buy you some decent 317's and throw some good springs on them..After that I would go with some 60lb injectors so that you don't have to jump up after you get the itch... Other than that you should be pretty good...Wait, are you talking about turbo??? If so then you may want to change your gears out too so that you can load it up so that you don't spool near redline... =)

if its a complete kit in working order then by all means by it. like stated above switch to some 317's and a different cam, your probably gonna run out of fuel with that pump, so look into a BAP or another pump, and switch the injectors out for some bigger ones. was your motor built around being naturally aspirated?

What are your goals??? You should be good for 600rwhp with a racetronix and BAP... There is a D1SC right now in the for sale section...It's a pretty good deal...

Add methanol injection to your current combination, and an ATI ProCharger D-1SC with the newer and larger 4.5" thick intercoolers would work just fine with your higher compression ratio.

This kit is what I would recommend. Bob
