I'm about to get on the FI bandwagon but I would like to know what long term costs I'm up for.

Now that some of you guys have had your FI set up for a good period of time, I would like to know what things have broken as a result of the increase HP/TQ (gearbox, axles, etc)?

Thanks.

 

broke a flywheel bolt which in return ruined the clutch and flywheel. It's the debatable if it was due to FI or faulty install or a combination but it did break...

I've been going through wheel studs from changing tires constantly and because my local track wouldn't let me run on stock wheel studs...

Other than that the car is running amazingly well and I hop it will continure to do so

 

The only thing broke ?....ME

 

My bank account

 

I forgot about that

 

So far just my wallet....LOL

 

boy everyone already beat me to it, lol.

 

all of my accounts! LOL.

 

Broke the stock axles clean in half...

 

Traction...

I can't wait for the new wheels/tires to get here.

 

Traction can be your frined or your enemy.. That was on Micky Thomson ET Drag Radials, not the slicks..

 

how did you break your axels

 

1 $1600 APS clutch. It only lasted 38 days. I didn't abuse it either.

You will go through tires like a hot knife through butter.

If you keep it under 400 whp you should be ok with just a large sum of money in a clutch and tire expense account.

aps makes clutches?

 

Lots of fun, lots of horsepower, and lots of money to get serious about boosting

 

Para, didn't you get your car back already?
