would you go FI your G or save the money for next car?

Personally if I were you and all I wanted to spend was 7-8K, I would just buy a new car. You may risk blowing the motor and you are out 7-8k and will be forced to fix something down the road of which could have been tackled at the begining. Just my .02

Try calling GTM and see what they have to say. They are always helpful and know alot about our engines.

just do some research. not 1 days worth. but look on our FI forum and look through most the threads. on my350z they have a great FI community that has been through mostly every kit out there and there is a ultimate vortech thread over there as well. but do your reasearch, weigh out your options and then make a decision.
only the brave and steep of pocket do turbo in SoCal. If he's looking at $7-8k for a Vortech, I'm thinking turbo is not an option, either for the build or to have it removed when State of California says take it out.... damn you, you non-CARB caring, out-of-state people .....

wow....i thought most of you guys would say "yes" but...i was totally wrong.
reason why say no.
8g is not enough, 380rwhp is not worth it, new car.
thxs for the advise guys. i will reconsider it.

No jokes here. I am a die hard car enthusiast. The mod bug bit the **** out of me and it has been on ever since. I am actually building my motor as we speak.

OP: Save your money and buy a new car if that is all you are willing to spend. Also I would go with a TT system...like somebodye else said you will not be using power to make power.
