Default Help me pick a setup....

I have decided to go the FI route. I do not want to do a turbo, I want to go the supercharged route. I will have approx 15k to spend on the whole setup. I will be doing the install and will be taking it to be tuned.


I was thinking of the following:

347 - 396 forged shortblock
Stage III LS6 heads w/ low compression
ATI or Vortech kit (Have heard mixed results from both)

This will be going it a 99 TA w/an auto (to be determined which one) w/ a 12bolt and 3.73's

I want something that is tuning friendly and would love to be in the low 11's to high 10's on a good day.

List up what you would do, prices and links would be great.....

George, I know someone probably within 10 miles of you that has a brand new LS1 Vortech head unit for sale, $1800 new if I'm not mistaken.

He's got the 38# injectors and head unit I think he will take $1500 for both plus he has some pieces of the kit as well I'm sure he would throw in.

BTW, I have some other ideas / advice for you as well on the whole project.

Email me if you have a chance or catch me on AIM.

Hey George

I think I can work you a good deal on my used ATI kit. I'll email you a price and what would be included on Monday.

George, I've had 2 Vortech's and an ATI, can give you feedback on both.

Also, I have a suggestion for you on a motor, email me and I'll get some more info from you. Allan Futral rocks, I would trust him for whatever setup you end up going with, be it forced induction, solid roller, stroker, nitrous, etc.
