It's great information for potential purchasers of F.I.
I certainly appreciate it anyways.

Thanks for the comment. I just want to make sure I find the most effective way to go forward. GTM will always be tried and true as there is more than enough data to show they have a damn good thing going on regardless if it's TT's of SC. BP also has a great alternative that turned out better than I think anyone anticipated for a very competitive price. Then my shop believes they can build FI around my headers, but they said they really need to look under the vehicle to see how much room they are working with. every option sounds great to me. The cheapest, easiest install and most complete would most likely be BP's, the one and only downside is the cost to get the headers removed and stockers reinstalled. GTM's will hit low and hard, the price is fine for me, but the install cost would hit harder than those turbo's. Lastly is the shop option which I have no idea what it would be, only that it would run $7-$10,000. I would have to buy all the parts, they design and fabricate the piping and of course tune. It is by far the riskiest, it's unproven, it can be disastrous, and at worst, I would be buying a new motor. The up shot is they would design it with the headers which can be a performance booster and big cost savings. I can also make decisions based on budget and performance on the fly as it's being built. By next year, I'll know what I'll be doing and will order one of these options. It will be installed while I'm away. That would most likely be the start of a build thread.
