Of course, adding FI to a non-FI block is not for the feint of heart. However, mine has been flawless over 18 months and 15k miles of street and track driving.

The benefit of an SC is that the power curve is perfectly linear, no whiplash, just plenty all the way through the RPM band. The .bmp file shows power at the wheels to be 441...

BTW how much of total weight all the SC bits and pieces were? how much heavier did it make your rear end?

No more than 35 lbs. of additional weight. Significant bits include:
-charger and mounting bracket
-add'l coolant lines, tank, pump, and coolant
-3rd radiator

But I weight 156 lbs, so I've got an advantage over other jockey's right there

Certainly not over Danica Patrick

I felt inadequate yesterday. A GTR followed me home Friday night through the canyons. An older grey haired gentleman was driving and he wanted to play. He didn't like the fact that I was 5 over the speed limit the entire way. I did give him a wave as he went bye. I think I need a Turbo/SC.
