only the XDi is the other option but it fall short of your goals.. if 99% of my driving was street I'd go that way depending on confidence with my tuner. big power brings little bugs I think the XDI will have fewer bugs than port with a less experienced tuner. Even if you have a good tuner there will still be a lot trips back n forth setting up the port to come on earlier or later to dial it in at the track its no big deal your there w your tuner dialing it in but on the street its annoying to have a hesitation depending on how you accelerate when your racing someone or just driving. You think something is wrong with the car and trying to schedule to come back in is kinda a headache. It took a long time to get mine perfect and a lot trips.
For instance everyone drives different you may step on it hard and it works perfect or you may gradually lead into a hit and it may hesitate or vice versa. mine is finally ironed out to where its good either way.
There are a few tuners on a text thread between themselves like Sorian, Cunningham, and other well known guys that help each other out with the bugs like this.
Cunningham, you noticed has made a pushed to support all DI coming up w cam shaft lobes like the LPE and using larger injectors. I asked hm about port and said he didn't like it and GM made it look easy cuz they have computers for the DI and port that talk to each other. Also they are only making up 100 hp not 800 on di and 600 on port.
Not trying to discourage you but there is little info for people on this and just get a confident tuner that's done a lot.
