Default FI or N/A?

Hey guys..

I plan on taking my GT to the track a lot once it gets warm out.. And I want the most amount of power for my money.. Would it be beneficial to go the whole 9 yards with full bolt ons or just get minor bolt ons, grabs a Vortech and then slowly add more bolt ons as I go?

Also, where can I find good prices on some good S/C? I hear a lot of good things about Vortech.. Links would be appreciated.

Thanks!

depends on how much money you have, F/I is the way to go, best deal IMO is the mongoose kit from MPH, or piece it together with the $1500 s/c thread

FI is the best way to go. Don't buy a kit from anywhere. Figure out everything you need and buy it all seperate you will save thousands.

I've been looking at that $1500 kit posted in the boost section and think I might go with that.

I found a S-1 Kit for $2700, but thats a little pricey.

Anybody know where I can find used headunits for the $1500 kit? or even new ones?

+1 corral is your best bet at finding just a head unit.

While I like the idea of an n/a motor. If you expect to compete with anybody then N/A is a total waste of time on a ford modular
