Help me, future FI setup
Help me, future FI setup Hey guys, here's my dilema;
I currently have a 2002 C5 coupe with 49,000mi on it. The motor setup right now is: TFS 215cc heads 60cc, 90mm FAST intake/tb, 228/234 112lsa cam, stock bottom end with 11.2:1 c/r. Ive had this setup for almost a year and a half and have been very happy with it. The car is about 450-460rwhp and runs mid 11's at Socal tracks. Now Im planning to start saving for some future mods within the next year and a half. My first idea was to have a forged bottom end 383, 10:1 c/r, on 10lbs of boost using my current setup except for the new bottom end. But, Im thinking a bit on the budget side right now since the wife and I just put 4 offers on some houses. This is what Im thinking as a real possibility for now, (opinions needed on this idea not 383 one which I know is better!!), in a year and a half pick up a TVS 2300, run around 7lbs of boost, lower comp ratio to 10:1 or close to with custom Cometics gaskets, ARP bolts, stock bottom end. Thing is, by then the car will have 60,000mi or so? Still safe to run boost? Also, what will be better, Maggie or Procharger? This will be mostly a road car with more road race action than dragstrips so I want a nice powerband from low to 6500rpm+/-. Which one will give me that? I still want durability and I dont mind running some race fuel though with 7lbs I dont think I'll have to and hp is just a number but I wont mind being in the 600's
. You guys think this setup will work? Let me hear all sides of the coin. Thnx.

The build we did on the above Corvette may be right up your alley. Bob

yeah bob at epp is the way to go. id go with one of his d1 kits and run stock boost until u save up for a forged motor and then turn up the boost. the only other thing i would get really is new injectors, fuel pump and some of the things listed in bobs link
