I would go procharger all the way. I would go with a D1SC, then if you want more power down the road you can make it. And if i was going to swap cams I would do the EPP blower cam. Just my 0.02's

Thanks for all the comments. Will I be safe going with a P1SC kit, since my goals are relatively conservative? And I'd like to get more thoughts on the cam...I figured since I'd already be in there, it would be a good time to do it. Plus it will raise my rpm range a little and give me some more room to grow in future if I want. Thoughts?
The cam I have now is awesome. The EPP blower cam is a little bigger and you don't hear any complaints, just

OK guys, the seller from the auction just offered me a kit for $2600 buy-it-now. This seems like a really good freaking deal, but I just had shoulder surgery yesterday and I'm on some strong meds, so I may be missing something, LOL. Can you guys take a look at this link and give me some thoughts?

TWS......Sell me your spectacle airlid!!! I am going to attempt to make a custom aluminum one myself since they wanted $400 for a new one and no one took interest. UGH.

Yeah, the Spectacle boys are trying to generate some interest so they can produce another batch of them. Unfortunately I do not think a sufficient number of customers stepped up to bring the price down.
It is a badass mod. I did four pulls with my stock lid and averaged 444 RWHP. Did four pulls with theirs and hit 463 RWHP. Admittedly that was the best pull of four, but the average was probably around 459-460 IIRC. AND, my stock lid was already "improved" by taking out the ridges on the inside top and sanding it smooth.

Alright guys, ended up deciding to go with the D1SC. Got a deal pending on a used kit from a forum member here. Really excited about getting my build going!
Still need to pick up a few various pieces for the kit, like injectors, fuel pump, etc. Anyone got recommendations for injectors? Should I go with an in-tank fuel pump, or can I use an in-line?
Thanks for your help guys. You'll be seeing a lot more of me in the Forced Induction forums now!

I have a Procharger inline pump if you need it.... PM me a offer. I used it for literally a few hours... I was making too much power for just the inline so I removed it went intank and new fuel system.
