I could. At first doing my research I wasn't sure if the posts were talking about forced induction or fast intentions.. Very confusing. Lol

yea thats been a bigger debate as of late.

more or less it comes down a. if you have a bias and b. turbo/wastegate choice

the prices are very similar so it makes them competitive. i obviously lean to the FI kit. i like the design and look better plus i've seen a few builds on stock blocks with e85 push over 700whp. very impressive.

theres a stage 3 build in progress a guy here is pushing for 1000whp+ of the FI kit with a 4.0L block.

I'll have to do a lot more research down the line. And not just buy the kit like I did this morning. Lol.. I did read something about the bov being more internal and not letting off the sound for the AAM kit. And that maintenance would be a little harder.. But I was looking for more exhaust information at the time.
