chris had a good point. Its basically what you want out of it. I personally like being N/A, I kinda see it as bragging rights if you can take on an FI'd vehicle. Personally I jumped in to my build and I found hidden costs unfortunately but Im working thru it and its coming together pretty decent so really no complaints from me other than next time Im gonna look at it better and plan more thoroughly

different strokes...

i like my LS1 but i would love a forged 370 that i could spray/abuse the **** out of. ive seen several "superrior" setups that dont hold up to "weaker" standards. look at all of these NA 5.3's running 12.3-12.6. put some dope on them and lets talk power adders.

Even for a F/I " YOU GOT TO HAVE POWER TO MAKE POWER ", it all depends and comes down to one single thing, " How much do u want to spend ", not " How fast u want to go "
They are 2 diffrent setups, yes i know, i'll stick with nitrous for now, but just think what my setup would make with a 96mm turbo on 9 to 1 compression on 25 or say 30 pounds of boost with a warhawk 6 bolts per cylinder block on Alcohol.............2000+ or so HP

but alot of people stay with their stock cubed engine and go with F/I for reliablility reasons, yes i would do that myself aswell

But i like to be on the radical side

how about a mild 408 with a cheater type cam for smooth idle and use a tb converter. Should make for a good daily driving truck with good power.
