N/A power or FI??
You'll still need a custom dyno tune that will cost around $1000
That is true to a point but you can't just replace the rods. At a minimum you'll need new bearings, gaskets, etc, and with the amount of labor required you'd have to be stupid to not upgrade some other parts at the same time. For a basic SC setup you really don't need to crack open the motor tho.. they never run quite the same and there's no way you're going to be making rod bending power with it. You'll be lucky to make 350 with a basic stillen kit.. lol

VQ interals handle basic stage 1 FI kits easily. Thousands and thousands of people have basic stillen, procharger, greddy, ect kits with no problem. The problem is boost is addictive, everyone loves it at first, then they want a boost controller, larger turbo, ect. That is when rods give out.
It is pretty much pointless to build an enigne if all you ever do is a bolt on FI kit. But OP first said FI, then NA, then FI. He has no clue what he wants.

You need to truly decide what your goals are and how much you are willing to spend.
See what are the supporting mods that need to be done? THAT is truly what I want to work on first
If you cant answer the basic questions of what route you want to go, and idea of components etc on your own you need to research more before you ruin your car.
