All I can say is to plan ahead and do your research on what direction to go. I've been planning (and saving) for six months, reading every post I can find.

Some of the kits are very complete and some are not. I don't think that any TT or SC kit includes a pump or injectors that will support E85 so you will need to research that aspect. Big injectors (+1000cc) and a high volume pump will be needed such as the 340 or 450 depending on your target HP.

What I did was to set a target HP and then find the best bang for the buck. The stock Stillen SC kit is very complete but it also has a 400-420 rwhp limit. I wanted 450 so I looked into the air to air kit that Topgunz was working on and it looked like it would give me what I was after. The dyno results from the prototypes looked good and were getting into the 450 range. A single turbo could have done the same but I wanted the linear hp pull that a SC has. You always know where the HP is because the SC is directly driven by the engine and has very predictable power which is very important when you are pushing the car at or near it's limits in a curve. Turbos are load driven and can supply boost in a non-predictable way when compared to SC.

Anyway, the parts I need are on the way and all should be here by Thursday. Till then I will drain the fuel tank partially and take the passengers seat out and start removing the pump assembly. I won't take it out until the new pump is here because I don't want to leave the gas tank open and smell the garage and house up.
