what else do I need for the sts kit... I have going to order the sts soon, and Im new to the FI scene, but what supporting mods do I need, What size injectors for 7psi on stock motor, Do I need a FMU?, what size fuel pump, do I need to beef up the stock trans to handle 450rwhp, I already know that im getting a 12 bolt, so anything else, Thanks in advance...and would it be a good Idea to get a cam to go with the turbo? or will it have too much hp for stock motor?
I would recommend 42# lucas/FMS injectors and a tune of course. Get a nice intercooler and/or meth injection. I personally went with the racetronix kit with hot-wire kit... The stock transmission, assuming it's automatic won't like being beat on shifting 3rd to 4th. The stock cam seems to work great with turbocharging, but a slightly bigger cam with a high LSA and reverse split pattern would be a little more suitable, depending on the power band you're after. A lot of options, I wouldn't waste the money to begin with to be honest.

BTW, a SPEC3 clutch is good for a garbage can and little more. Far too many failures with the SPEC clutches that have been documented to trust them on a high HP car. I'd suggest a Textralia or McCloud dual for a FI application. Just my $0.02 And the stock T56 will handle 450RWHP no problem.
