Like what was stated previously, 700whp is a LOT of power and overkill for any street car. The amount of money involved in this project as well as the maintenance and upkeep involved on a daily or even a weekend driven 700whp VQ car is painstaking. Might want to re-consider your goals a little. 500-600whp is MORE than enough for a street car and is a more realistic goal as far as maintenance and reliability. I'm sure you are wanting to enjoy your car more, not maintain and worry about it more.... LOL
Ok I didnt think there was that much more of a head ach if you built the car to take that power level. So if i stayed in the 600 area my injectures and fuel system would be fine except for possibly having to purchase a fuel pressure regualtor or something. Like i said I am not trying to be speed racer and i definatly need no more then 600 to the wheel just figured if I was going to build something for that to maybe spend a little more and give me some wiggle room
