The D-1SC is a very good head unit, but you won't make 900hp with it. Bob

Ya you need something BIG like the F1 or F1r. It takes a **** load more air to make 900 then 500.
Alot of it also depends on where ya start to make 900 hp. Like would you be keeping stock displacement on the forged motor or would you be goin with a 370, 382, 383, 402, 408, 427, 434. The bigger ya go the more breathing ya need. Also how much power teh engine would be making with out FI. A 408 could make near on 500 hp with any FI and make it alot easier to make 900. Something to think about. GL
