Yep. You need $10-15k for the kit, supporting mods, etc. And then you need to have a savings account with enough money in it to buy and install a motor. Boosting a factory NA car is an expensive proposition. ANd you can't save money on it. If you cut corners up front, you'll pay far, far more later when it catches up to you. Most people would be better served by doing all the bolt ons and a tune, a lot of suspension work, and then tracking/AutoXing the car to learn how to really drive it. 330whp is still a lot of car and you'll save $10k.

I think it's about time this quote gets sticky'd to the top if the FI section.

I'm glad this question was asked because from my understanding; I can run F/I on the Z if I don't cross over the 500whp threshold. Can someone comment on the veracity of this?

My goal (although I'm unsure when I will achieve this, as I intend on going full bolt-ons for 330whp for an undetermined amount of time) is to have about 450whp or so.

I was planning on using the Boosted Performance kit, which comes with almost everything I need short of gauges and a upgraded clutch.

People run 500-550 whp on 93 on the stock block with very few issues provided the tune is good. On 91 it's going to be lower. On E85 people are well into the 600s.
