Default D1SC... Opinions?

Thinking about picking up a d1sc kit and adding a fmic to it.. Probably running 6-8lbs on top of my h/c setup? Edelbrock 205cc heads which have a real thick deck and everyone says are great for FI... have a even split cam which should be good (just big)
I was thinking about a turbo setup, but will end up costing me alot more $$ in the long run, and i dont think i need that much power... Supercharger seems like it would be a little easier on the car? Reading posts it seems like with the right setup they'll make gobs of power anyways... i'm thinking with my h/c setup and the little boost i should still be in the 550-600 range with a very mild boost setup? Which i'd be fine with

Absolutely time tested and time proven. They are awesome. You want a 114-117 LSA though not sure what your cam has.

D1SC rocks-600rwhp is a walk in the park-call BoB@EPP it doesn't get any easier than that.

You don't want a big cam w/ lots of overlap on a blower car, it will not make power until very high RPM and driveability will be poor.

despite the lsa the cam has really no over lap, its a pretty even split from the way i understand it..
I'm really leaning towards it...

As everyone else said, you can't go wrong with a d1sc kit. I wouldn't worry too much about your cam, I've seen so much theory with cam choices and I've seen a lot of cams not in that theory working quite well as well. Try your cam now and swap it later if you don't like the results.

As a side note, I'm not sure you will need the fmic, the twin intercoolers might be enough, I'd do a search to be sure... it might save you some cash.
