However if you want it to perform up to it's full potential reliably then you should strongly consider the advice provided. A dyno whp number needs to be the least of your concern anyway. Just because a dyno shop hands you a piece of paper showing 600whp does not mean it will actually perform like it makes 600whp on the street.
Imo you are not going to make more then 540ish tops on stock fuel system reliably at a SAFE AFR. A lot tunes I see run these engines too lean to stretch the fuel system. Then you need to consider the fact that 93 pump gas really isn't enough octane for these engines with boost. You end up needing to run very conservative timing and lean afr to get it to squeak by on stock fueling. It's a waste of time. A bolt-on E85 NA car will give you fits in a race.
Either way it's your money do as you wish.

Really appreciate all of the input I really do. I was going to do the install myself but figured I better let the pros do it and make sure its done right so I'm not as stubborn as you may think.
Taking it all in and will bring up these questions when I go to drop the car off and we'll see what happens. Besides my understanding is the 1LE shares the same intake fuel pump as the ZL1 so that should relieve the pain if I do go that route.
