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..

I hope you will be intercooled, running 8-10lbs of boost.

Re: Stay NA or go FI?

yes hell! I could only imagine what twin turbos would do for me. I'm already pushing about 400rwhp. What compression what I need for turbos as opposed to supercharger? If I got turbo, would I need twins or just single?

Re: Stay NA or go FI?

A PTK kit and a single T70 would be more than sufficient to push a car deep into the 10's.

Isn't it just silly !!!! It's so simple I wish I had the cash. I would do it in a heartbeat.

Dished pistons to drop compression, larger injectors, PTK turbo kit , bigger fuel pump, Lots of logging and tuning !!!! (along with replacing the broken rear and tranny....lol)

Yep, buy some stock in Fruit of the Loom. My blown, intercooled, nitrous injected 383 is getting close to being done. Then I can get back to work on my fast project.

heck, I assumed if you already had your car running int the 10's all motor, that turbo could easily put it into the 8's. Heck, there's 10 second eagle talons and eclipses all over the place.
