Default FI newbie, need some insight

I need some help to make sure my install goes smoothly.

I have an iron 408 on order and will be installing a Procharger. I have a 1999 SS M6 that is mainly driven to race but occasionally I cruise around in.

My goal is at least 700 HP at the wheels. I am not sure if this is possible, but we all have to have goals right?

I have the D1SC on order, but recently found the price between the D1 and the F1 head unit was not as much as I thought. I am looking into pricing the kit with the F1 upgrade now.

I will be running a complete fuel system from Nasty Performance with 60# injectors.

I am going to order the 8 rib pulley setup from SDCE.

I am unclear about the bypass valves. I do not know if the pro-flow bypass will work for me, or if i need the racing bypass.

I don't know how far the twin intercoolers will take me. I am sure I will have to go with a FMIC, but unless someone can give me some part numbers to convert to the "cheap" (off brand) FMIC I will have to use the twins.

I also need to know what size blower pulley I will need to run with the D1 and the F1.

Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

ID go with the FI if it was me (welll realy a turbo if it realy was me) but you can call speed inc and they can set you up with a nice griffin frontmont IC.

not sure what pulley size?

I have already changed my order to the F1. As far as the FMIC goes, I think I may have to hold off until I can save some more money. After the motor, suspension and Fi kit, I am kind of spent for the moment.

Thanks for the reply.
