Depends on whether ya want FI or N/A nitrous car. I have a tad over 11.25:1 compression and I LOVES the juice.

Hard to say what gains I had because I had the complete motor built...heads, cams, forged internals, P51 intake, etc. Yes, I got an N/A and juice tune. I am now in the process of upping the shot to a 200.

SCT (FTW) and it's flashed into my ECU via X'Cal (This was before X-Cal 2's were out on the market). I am now switching to the X-cal2.

I had a baseline tune from my tuner to get some miles on the motor. After I had around 250 miles, it went on the dyno for a dyno tune.
