1J's point on breaking parts is a valid one - best to upgrade the springs, retainers, timing chain, rockers, as these stock parts' durability are iffy under boost. And a Blower without a Blower Cam makes no sense to me.

Then as I learned, running a Blower and a big cam puts the Stock Fuel pump at the hairy limit of fuel starvation under boost, even with a BAP. Best to cut the hole in the floor and at least run a ZL1 HO pump. And the kit's 63 lb injectors are maxed out, and actually not up to the demand for more fuel.

So this summer I made some parts and Tune upgrades thanks to T. Jannetty. Added a 3.75" pully, ZL1 pump, 3 Bar MAP, his custom IAT, and Injector Dynamics ID1050X Injectors. And whent thru his intensive tuning process using a HP Tuner Interface and numerous Data Logs. The guy is a tuning pro, and I have had a number of them, some absolutely not in the same league as Ted. The end result was impressive and the immediate power under boost is incredible. Just check out his "Street Brawler" packages. That is how my car is built.

I gotta say, I like the splitter, with the functioning adjustment rods…
