An FI upgrade will invalidate the factory drivetrain warranty so you might want to drive the car a bit to be comfortable that all is well before starting an FI project anyway.
I am not in a rush. Definitely would like to connect with the local guys. I haven’t even taken delivery yet. I am well aware of the challenges with FI, I went down this path before with my C5. I Ended up with a built engine, pro charger, cam, gears, converter and hardened everything...I went way too far, to the point my wife didn’t like riding in the car (around 800rwhp). I will keep this one much more mellow...but want enough to make it “mine”.

I like the roots style blower because it comes on so early that standard gearing isn’t a problem. I like the way a head/cam sounds and the improved top end performance is beautiful (but need veering and converter to take advantage of the power band).

Thanks for the info...keep it coming. I was about to take my Mustang down the Roush path and decided I wanted the vert before going down that path...that brought me back to the dark side. 😊
