Please educate me
Please educate me I've been seriously contemplating going FI for some time now. I been doing my own research and asking around, however can't come to a conclusion.
I want to retain my current engine mods;
239/244 114LSA
Pacesetter LT's
150 wet shot
Stock 241 heads with Comp 918 springs
I am looking at the STS kit and some tell me that I can just wrap the headers.
What do you guys think?

Well I like the idea of the STS kit being in the rear. I been looking at all sorts of setups and they all seem to clutter the engine compartment to the point you can't even change the plugs. Plus the STS kit also sounds like the simplest to bolt on.
I'm not against superchargers, the main idea here is to try and keep my current mods. I don't have my stock manifolds anymore, and you always here about the ls6 cam being the best for FI. Just trying to gather ideas here in order to put a plan together.
Powerwise.....realistically, anywhere above 550 would make me happy. Considering that I'd keep the N2O kit it shouldn't be a problem getting that and more.

So you have a stock block, rods and pistons and want to go FI and spray it with a 150 shot? Have fun.
STS is a waste of money. If you want to keep your mods now which is silly, then i would say go with a procharger.

Sounds like you need to do more research man. What you have now and any sort of turbo setup isnt a good idea. Not to mention spraying a 150 shot (already questionable) ontop of boost WILL pop your motor lol. You could do a procharger and keep the headders, cam, and heads....10psi or so will net you 550ish rwhp. Your current mods arent ideal for a turbo setup. The cam isnt the best, headders arent good at all and lose the idea of the spray. If your on a stock motor your lucky it hasnt popped on the spray yet, sell the kit and put it towards your FI fund lol Theres A LOT that goes into a FI build, clutch, fuel system and many other things. Look around the FI forum and do some searches and see what ideas fit you best.

Verdad Gallardo I really appreciate all of your answers. This isn't something I'm getting into right away, just trying to educate myself and do as much research as possible before I even make a decision.
So much time and effort have already gone into what I have now, so having to start all over isn't something I'm looking forward to without being 100% sure it's what I want to do.
Thanks again.

you need to ride in a boosted car, if you go boost you will wonder why you ever used spray........... is the bottle full, is the pressure right, do i have enough for another pass, F--- that!!! put your foot into it, boost every time (turbo or procharger cant go wrong)
