JLarson's build thread

Since you have long tube headers and you don't want to remove them, going twin turbo is out as any decent kit requires you to use oem or custom manifolds.

Correct, and my goals don't really align with a need for a TT kit. Since I'm planning to stay daily driven, 500ish whp is more than enough. I do like the elegance of the turbo setups - free power as opposed to belt driven. If I were to seriously consider a turbo, the BP would be at the top of my list.

BP is a good and FI is better imho. You can safely daily 600whp now. I quit driving mine on a daily basis when I started tracking but I do drive it other than just the track. I'm not sure how many miles you put on the Z a year as I have been boosted for just over 4.5 years and 30k miles and the car still runs strong as ever. The secret is no different than being NA, just don't uselessly beat up the car, use good fluids and change them regularly.

I am enjoying your build thread and I had a great time hanging with you and Magen at ZDAYZ.

We had a great time with you too man!
In your experience, what sets FI apart as the top tier kit?

The number one thing in my opinion that sets FI apart from the rest is craftmenship and fitment. All are spot on and time proven.

Agreed! You can easily hit 500whp or more and stay daily drivable!

Yeah that was my first choice. Not just for that reason. If I go ahead with this build, it'll be my first vehicle with forced induction. From all the reading I've done, the SC will be an easier install, and easier to maintain. Every step I've taken with learning my vehicle has been aimed at progressive growth. Since I didn't grow up doing this stuff or knowing people who did, my knowledge of trouble shooting is limited at first to my ability to research through forums and google - so I want something that gives me those first steps, a good add to my power, and does it as a reasonable cost. The money isn't really an obstacle either, except money earning me interest does a lot more than money in my car.

But I can't drive a high interest generating account
