OP, do your homework on the Stillen Kit. It has some serious issues with it that (IMO) make it less safe on the motor than a turbo kit at low boost. By the time you iron out all of the Stillen kit's shortcomings you could have had a turbo kit.

Don't leave the Boosted Performance kit off your list. It's a solid option, and labor cost to install will be less than a twin turbo kit.

Whichever option you choose, you need to always have enough in your savings account to replace a motor. These motors are stout, but things happen when you're asking an extra 150-200whp out of it.
