As the title says I am planning on going FI in the next few months, probably around Dec or Jan. I have decided upon the Vortech kit and will be getting all my parts/installation/tune at PF, so I know I will be well taken care of. I am trying to throw together a make-shift checklist of parts I may or may not and this is what I am planning to buy so far:

Tuner Kit + Injectors + Fuel Pump + 3.12 Pulley + A/F & Boost Guages + UTEC map switch

Now my question consists of what I should also get. Since I am running aftermarket headers is a stainless steel clutch line necessary? Should I consider installing a new flywheel/clutch also? I am not sure I will be putting down enough power even with full bolt-ons to warrant a new clutch but I may be wrong. My car is currently at 40k miles and is running well. I know there are bound to be a few things I am overlooking, and I would appreciate input from those of you who know more about these things than I do. Thanks.

 

go turbonetics single turbo!! i have one for sale if u want!! no belt slippage/breakage!!

 

If you happen to reach around 400whp, you might want to think about a fuel return system. I have read and learned that once you venture above 400whp, a fuel return kit is a good investment to be on the safe side. Not mandatory, but good to pick up to be safe...
Im not sure how much power you are looking to make

 

Oh and an engine oil cooler might be something to invest in. Again not mandatory, but will lower oil temp a little...

 

I have 62k miles on a stock clutch, with about 8k on the vortech with 400 whp. The clutch is still grabbing, but it just depends on how hard you were on it before

 

you dont want to start that........

 

Thanks for the input guys. I will def look into an oil cooler as I see it has been recommended in another Vortech thread. I am hoping for around 375 to 400 whp (fingers crossed) so I will probably go ahead with and throw in the new clutch. Can anyone recommend a decent brand of af/boost gauge? I dont need anything too fancy. I am trying to keep costs down while trying to cover all my bases and so far it isnt working out too well

 

autometer makes nice gauges for cheap...if u want a wideband o2 i would say aem uego is nice....
im not gonna start hehe....vortech are very nice indeed...good luck with your new found powa!

 

With your mods, you should hit 375 - 400 pretty easily with the 3.12.

 

I got a vortech for sale man! I'm local too... LOL.... With your mods and a 3.12 pulley you should make close to 400rwhp or just above it. The stock clutch will hold for a bit. I put 14k on my stock clutch with the blower and i drag race a good bit.
