Default F/I Kits

I know everyone likes APS kits and I do too, but I probably won't have the money to go that route. I only have a certain amount of money to try to make 500hp and I think going the Supercharger route would probably be the cheapest way to go because I also want to build the motor and change the fuel system at the same time. Do you think that with upgrading the fuel system and building the motor with a good tune from AAM on 93 octane that I would be able to make 500hp reliable and drive it without worry? I was also looking at going with the APS single kit or Turbonetics single kit, but I have a dual exhaust that I like that I don't want to get rid of because the kits won't let you use a catback dual with them. I wonder if it would be able to custom make it were it would fit. Hope I can get some really good info from this so I don't go the wrong route. THank

Yeah, that or a single turbocharger kit.

Like i've said before, you can make a reverse/backwards y-pipe and cut off your exhaust to fit it.

Realistically speaking doing the following will be easiestly achieved by the APS kit IMO. Im not comfortable with the Greddy kit because of the front bumper removal, splicing wires, no extended oil pan, lack of on-line support, and ablility of user interaction via boost controller.
