New Vortech upgrades...

If u are a type of person that wants your motor to last I would at least upgrade to bigger injectors and walbro intank fuel pump and keep the aux pump if needed.
The FMU is fine but it's a risk I dont want to take or think about when I'm at WOT if it's going to take a dump.

I definiely agree wih he bigger fuel pump, but you shouldn't ever need a dual one. Once again, seems like a waste to me.
For me, a blown motor is an excuse to build my motor anyways. There is really no way to safely boost the VQ on a stock motor.
but i digress. back on topic.
I rather shell out a few hundred dollars now to replace the FMU (and it will overtime) than a few thousand any day for a rebuild (cost me over 9K for built motor + labor).
Also running dual pump is optional if u happen to pick the wrong size of injectors. I was like SD before thinking it would be a waste getting larger size injectors when u dont really need it but after awhile everyone wants more HP so bigger is always better (saves money in the long run).
At first, I thought running RC 440cc with return line and walbro was enough to push MAX 450whp but it still wasn't enough fuel to push 400whp on a DD dyno. Lucky I still had my aux pump (vortech kit) so I was able to save money by not needing to replace bigger injectors. Fast forward to now, I wish I had gone at least 650cc bc I'm itching for +450whp on my vortech and now I got to pay for bigger injectors, tune, and labor. So don't learn from my mistakes. Pay a little now or u're going to pay a lot more later on.

2 tranny coolers would be a lawlfest- dont do that.
I run a 3300 stall and a vb upgrade and i've had 00000000000000 problems.
Upgrading the tranny is definitely the way to go- I love it!!!!!!!!
