Default Whats really needed in the FI world?

Guys Im coming to you for some marketing research!

What in the Forced Induction Community is needed and not readily avalible or cheap enough to satisfy the masses?

We are trying to configure a development team that will be able to offer the products that are needed and are hard to find!

Please if you have any thing you would like to say, Please say it here!!

Thanks

and Happy Boosting!

if it can be done much cheaper than the cost of a FAST or ACCEL stand alone system, an easy to install conversion for us LT1 guys to swich to a newer LS1 PCM. It would be desirable so we can use the better tuning and scanning software, along with 2 or 3 bar map sensors on forced induction setups like my own.
I've seen interest over at cz28.com

The EV1 to EV6 injector adapters are standard equipment of the ATI procharger kits for the ls2 motors. Unfortunately, the kit is around $80 for the adapters and the katech spacer kit.

+1 on alternator relocation kit, my current bracket keeps bending and throwing my belt a little off line making an aweful squeel.

The Katech tensioner is a great piece; what's needed is a bracket setup that will allow fine tuning (in & out) for proper belt alignment.

You can say that again. The current conversion costs are just insane. You could literally buy an F-Body or Mustang for what the conversion costs.

I would add a plug and play type setup for an AEM or BS3 would be great.
