F.I. on lt1
F.I. on lt1 I am really wanting to run a F.I. system on my 94, but am not sure what route to take, turbo, or s/c, I also have the problem of having all stock internals. could I safely run like 6psi on the stock internals and not really worry? I have an upgraded ignition and I would get the aeromotive fuel system or something like that for the fuel part. Just trying to get an idea, I keep getting told I should just build the engine with the $ first but not sure yet. I have like almost 94k miles on her too.
If you decide to do FI, be prepared to realize that the motor could blow with 5 miles or 50k miles...it depends on the tuning and the mechanical condition of the engine before install. My point is this, if this is your DD, then build a forged motor on the side and enjoy your car now while your building the motor. Once you get the new motor in, save up for a blower or turbo and enjoy the new power and torque from the new engine (with FI cam and fully ported heads).
yea that is what I figured, but some people keep telling me if I run low boost i'll be fine.... but it seems like boost is a drug, you start out low but cant help but get more and more

boost is definitely a drug to me. i have a 94 too. i bought the car with a vortech on it already. i do have forged internals so im ok when upping the boost. im running 12 pounds right now. but the motor is coming out of the car now so i can do some other things to it. im also thinking bout upping the boost a little more.
yea, it is my daily car so I cant go F.I. quite yet I guess. I really wanna get some good internals though. any suggestions on a nice rotating assembly for the lt1, and not the stroker kit, that is all i seem to find
