I came across this great deal on a used vortech v1 s-trim.. comes with everything (98 GT bracket asembly, anderson powerpipe, 42lb injectors, ECU, etc) for $1000...

i'm still finding information about the blower itself, but this sounds like a great deal.. all i will have to do is buy the new bracket assembly ($315 shipped) since my car is an 01', a fuel pump ($125 shipped from lethalperformance for a new svt focus fuel pump), and i need to buy a new belt? i'm not sure which belt i would have to buy, but i know that belts come with the bracket assembly.. idk

what do you guys think??

do i need to reflash the ECU?

i'm only trying to push 350whp MAX, so do i even need to upgrade the MAF/fuel pump?

do i need a wideband to constantly check my air/fuel??

i'm worried about spending too much on "extra's" that i might need and possibly not liking how loud the blower is. but i do have a beater if i get sick of my car.. idk

opinions and info please!!!

thanks
