If injectors, pump and a tune are worth it for the ~10whp you'll get NA on e85, go for it. But the injectors you need for a NA E85 setup are much smaller than for a turbo build, so you'll end up replacing them again when you boost the car.

I'm building for 700ish hp. Here's my roughplan:

-63mm throttle bodies
-Ported upper intake plenum
-Ported lower intake plenum
-600+CC fuel injectors (E85 compatible) for now, 1k or larger later
-320/325 LPH fuel pump
-Fuel pressure regulator
-Fuel return kit
-distributor plugs
-Front upper adjustable control arms
-Rear camber arms
-Rear toe bolts
-Rear traction bolts
-GT strut bar
-Sway bars
-Oil catch can 200cc+
-Lightweight flywheel
-Stage III clutch
-Slotted brake discs
-Stainless steel brake lines
- Stainless steel clutch lines
-Silicone coolant hoses
-CSF radiator
-19 row oil cooler system (larger if/when needed)
-1/2" oil pan spacer/enlarged oil pan/w/spacer
-Enlarged rear diff pan
-Final drive 3.9 gear
-Polyurethane Differential bushings
-Polyurethane transmission mount
-Polyurethane engine mounts
-midpipe section strait pipe exhaust
-Headers
-Ecutek tuning

BOOST

-carrillo a type h arms
-CP 11.1:1 piston head w/ gaskets
-ARP studs
-ARP extended wheel bolts
-JWT 263 cams w/ supporting valve springs/retainers
-Vortex single or F.I. Twin turbo

-FINAL TUNE, E85, 93, 91, maybe 100

When I ask questions, keep in mind that I'm not looking for power NOW. I was reliable power, and I want a proper build, no shortcuts. I'm just seeing if I can knock it out now rather than later since I'm going E85 and porting everything up to the heads.
