Default Stay NA or go FI?

I am thinking of ditching my current cam setup and going to go to the dark side...FI!! Im thinking of running the 224/230 .536 .555 114. I want the car to be daily driven friendly and move when it needs to. Anyone running this cam? Results? Thoughts? My current setup is in my sig. I am running 42lb FMS injectors, will these suffice? I already know I will be needing a Fuel pump, as I am still on my stocker. Is an ATI dampener needed as well? I am only going to be running 8-10lb of boost, due to my compression. If anyone has reccomendations, suggestions, sound clips, dyno results, anything, please shoot them my way, as I am embarking on a new voyage. Thank You all..Very Much Appreciated, and thanks for reading..

HEY BUD,
all i can say is do it, do it do it. And make sure you get a keyed hub.
i got a 383 turbo
i think you may need bigger injectors than you got
my old 38lbs were maxed out on my 350 with 10 psi of boost
i know run 50lbers and they are fine.
if you got any other questions let me know

Who sells keyed hubs for cheap? I hope my injectors will suffice, because they are brand new! They are ford motorsport 42lb'ers, so I hope they are good enough. Do you think I should stick to the cam I mentioned, or should I go a tad smaller. I want the car to be very street driveable, but to put down some good power. According to Combination Motorsports, they said that cam with my setup should put down well over 550rwhp..

The cam you mentiond should be good,
Im runing a simialr one
224/232 580/580 114 lsa

Thunder racing sells keyed hub for around 75 dollars. It is a must !!!!

The injectors , Im pretty shure are going to be maxed, It may be close,
Dont forget it take around 150 hp to drive the supercharger so you need to
set up your fuel system to handle all of that.

Your duty cycle on the injector is going be huge, They are going to be staying open a long time.

Well hopefully I can get away with my 42's. If not I will just sell them, and buy some 50's...What are you using as far as fuel pump goes?
