Default Would like to add FI have questions?

I am a local to Charles @ CJ Motorsports. He has driven my car in its current state. I have already invested a boatload of money into my Z and would like to add FI to it. I would like to get some feedback from you guys as to what the best overall way to go would be, without redoing my engine. I have the following mods.

Crawford headers
Tomei 268 Cams
SGP Ti valve springs and retainers
Nismo Lower Thermostat
Gruppe M Intake
Test pipes
JIC Exhuast
Gruppe S Y Pipe
JWT Lightened flywheel with RPS stage three clutch
Zex Wet kit
Nismo Differential with Nismo Cover
Etc......

I know Mcduck has a similar setup with a blower and made really good power....Any suggestions...

The Crawford headers are a little different than the stock set up... I will put my Kit with the Borlas (they are the same set up) but maybe you can use the kit with the Crawfords... you have to see if will fit the turbo pipes.

You first need to decide what your overall goals are, in terms of horsepower and $$$$.

...are you looking to make a little more power (like 100whp more)?
...looking to blow the doors off anything you might run into on the street (600+ whp)?
...how much do you have to spend?

These answers will help determine what path is best for you.

What gave you reason to run 2 step colder plugs on your setup? Sounds really odd for your setup.

To be quite honest, just tell Charles what whp you're looking for along with a few other pertinent details, so he can know what he's up against. He's been one of a few innovators and I would trust his judgement. Hell, I'm thinking about taking it to him to tune! (I'm in KY)
