Stay NA or go to the Dark Side?

E85 is a lot more complex to run.. You'll need fuel pump injectors and lines to make it work properly.. I've only seen then used on big builds with big numbers. For stock block e85 is not necessary as you'll be reaching the limits of what the stock block can handle on pump gas. You COULD run either e85 or meth for extra piece of mind I suppose.

Firehawk you got a lot of questions there but u need to decide which route YOU wanna go.
No FI is safer than the other, it's all in the tune. Superchargers r nice, turbos r even better IMO. The torque is a blast and to get kicked back in the seat is something only turbos can give you. If you're lookin to build the motor later down the road then I'd suggest turbos. If ur sticking to stock block I'd still suggest turbos. Judging by how you seem to be worried about keepin the motor safe then you're "safest" bet would be supercharger. You'll get hp but no real torque. That will help you stay somewhat on the "safer" side with a good tune. Just remember once you go FI it is hard to ever go backwards. You won't wanna ever turn down boost, you'll almost certainly want more. More boost, more mods to turn up boost "safely".
Best bet is to decide ur future goals and go with that plan in mind to grow later down the road. A nice turbo will keep u happy on stock and if u ever decide to build you can always turn up the boost and still be happy. Once u to supercharger that's about it, to get more gains will cost u more money on an upgrade when a turbo can do all that from he beginning to end.
I'd suggest either Gtm or Sasha's kit. Good luck.
