questions on going with the vortech tuner kit

I would go with the 2.87 and the 440cc injectors and you can get just a little over 400whp. With the s/c I believe this is safe because they don't put out as much tq as the turbo kits. Also they are a bunch of guys running the 2.87 with no problems. Might as well get all the upgrades now....power is addicting and you will want more. Max it out from the begining.
Just my $0.02.

GMan what other mods did you have at the time when you dyno'ed 380 with the 3.12 pulley?

I dont think any one has tapped the spacer , or used a oil return line low in the oil pan [ APS , or any other oil pan ] . It was designed so the oil
return flows in above the oil fill line . I dont think I would want to be the one to find out . I would be to affraid of oil backing up into the blower

if you tap the oem upper oil pan for an FI application and later remove it, how bad is it to replace the upper oil pan assembly? The part doesnt look terribly expensive (less than an aftermarket oil pan).

is there any cons on having the setup I listed above all controlled by the ECU.... besides having to get it reflashed if I were to do any upgrades in the future, I plan to do everything before or while the s/c is installed so I dont have to worry about get retuned/reflashed
