Going FI

Next week i will be purchasing an APS TT tuner kit. This kit doesn't come with the fuel management.
So, can anyone tell me how much can i push this on a stock block, without damaging anything? And also, how much hp should i expect?
I'm planning on racing some dude with a 07 Dodge Charger RT10 with a 5,7 380bhp engine. Do i stand any chances?
I'm open to suggestions.

If you are going with a stock block I would get the full APS kit. The Tuner kit is more for people wanting to push a bit more out of it with larger injectors a complete fuel return kit, UTEC (or better), etc.

With a good EM you can go to 400whp/400wtq with no problems. An ultra safe tune is ~380ish.

As for the race, you will beat him no problem. I have a Greddy TT 405/399 and the last time I was at the drags I raced a 300C SRT (~420hp) and beat him by over half a second with a bad launch spinning through 1st and 2nd. Those LX platform cars are heavy.

uhhhh...unless you want your car to blow, I suggest an EMU such as Utec and a CJM Fuel return. And get a real tune. How do you plan to tune the car with no EMU?

It is always good to have but you can go without a return kit as long as you stay around 8psi or less. Much above that and you need one.

Get some injectors, return fuel system, walbro fuel pump, and a Utec. And call it a day.

the whole point of buying a tuner kit is so you can purchase your own EMU and fuel components, not so you can save money on the kit.

Fuel Return = 1k
Walbro = ~$120
Injectors = ~$500
Utec = ~$900

You should call a shop that's experienced with adding FI to the VQ.

If your goal is to do the kit on your stock block and cash is tight go with the complete APS kit that comes with injectors, a partial return kit and the Unichip. You still need to add the fuel pump.

You might also want to add a AAA membership in case you need a tow.

I believe it's lifetime as long as you own the vehicle. It's part of the "Ownership Experience." But, last time I used it I had < 60k.

I also have AAA though because I save %15 on Auto Insurance.

Wow, I need to read that paperwork!

I had a IC tube come off and needed to get a tow a little while back. It cost me $80 for a 4 mile drive!
