sentry:

my power goal is only 350whp for now. What would you suggest:
vortech and utec with necessary sensors/gauges and a tune? Will 440cc injectors be needed?

440cc injectors and the utec won't be needed if you only want 350rwhp. thats achievable right out of the box.

Would the UTEC be recommended for the 3.12 pulley?

unless you build the bottom end and/or run the 2.87 pulley on a stock block, the UTEC isn't necessary. It would be nice to have, but you don't NEED it (thanks, Sentry)

well you obviously can't be driving something that already has a decent amount of power in comparison to the Z. I meant like an economy car of something obviously slower in feel

+1
just get the full kit and stick with that unless you'd rather have the UTEC and go the route of the tuner vortech kit

lol well no, but at least it has some amount of torque compared to a 110-140 hp I4 engine

some of those jeep cherokees have 330 hp V8's, I had no idea which one you had
