I'm still thinking about going the FI route. Just not sure which set up I want. I think a roots style is the way to go but they are pricey if you want to do it right. Of course, the same can be said about every set up. I'm really looking hard at the beefcake kit or pro-charged and just calling it a day. I think the centi set up would be a little eaiser on parts per say. As of right now, I have the suspension covered. I also bought new wheels/tires but went for looks and it hurt performance. I'm just tired of how slow this car is out of the box. I still need to make it up in your direction to go for a spin in your car. I bet after I do, I'll be on the phone to VMP lol.

You should come and drive it man. Seriously, come up for one of the pavilion nights (every Saturday night starting around 4 PM) and I'll take you for a ride.
What suspension and wheel/tire combination are you running? You really need to come and drive mine before you start doing anything. I'm extremely particular about my car...
IMO -- you will be at the same cost to get to my power level with a D1SC as a Whipple. Whipple makes more torque, D1SC will make a lot more horsepower. Pick your poison D1SC will be easier to cool and likely won't require as much dollar spend on cooling parts to keep your shit cool in the summers -- but then again, I don't think it's as hot up where you're at so it may not matter. Expect to keep it under 10 PSI or you'll need race gas.
Wheels and tires are the most important part of the Boss 302 -- kinda sucks you made that mistake Not all is lost though -- you may be able to get a wheel shop to widen them for you so you can run wider tires But they may be heavier than expected.
Also, get some stainless lines, better pads, exhaust, and a tune. Huge difference. Probably at least 50-60 rwhp, and a much better pedal feel at the same time.
