But as the OP stated timings better with ecutek. Its worth a look see.

I was basing that off the OP. 10hp doesn't seem worth the extra money and hassle of installing extra items as well as introducing a new point of failure into the drivetrain system.

If I were boosted, my answer would be different.

Nothings extra though. OEM GTR injectors could fail just as easy as OEM 370's. And a tunes a tune.

I would have to buy injectors, preferably a flex fuel sensor, something to monitor the ethanol content and a new fuel pump.

+ECUTek

....Not for 10hp.

O yeah not me haha. $200 injectors and call it a day. And i spent $10 on a test tube to measure the content.

I was thinking about cjm stage 1 kit and ID 750 injecrors with aeromotive fuel pump 340. Overkill?

For N/A? Yes. But if your panning a FI build then you'll already have your fuel system in place
