Exactly. Do some reasearch and find out what kinda power you want to be making, because that can effect what you need also. Size of injectors, engine management, etc.

biggest rule of thumb i've heard regarding the 550s vs 700s, is that the 700bb kit has its wastegate pressure set at around 11psi, which could potentially blow a stock motor.

werd, built or bust, 420WHP = buy an old vette... This car is a nightmare in costs to get a solid reliable RWHP and with 700s you'll need to go big

go with 700's have your dealer tell JWT it is for a stock block and they will adjust it to flow as low as possible and get it around 9 psi

Spring pressure for me is 9.3 psi. If you have a stock exhaust (or just stock cats), I'm fairly confident it will keep the power reasonable for a stock motor - no worries. The other nice thing is that the 700 tuner kit does not come with a fuel system or EMS (which is why it doesn't cost too much more than the 530bb kit), so you can pick your own there (and that's a good thing : Haltech + CJM)...

I also agree to go with the 700's and if your trying to go for 650 plus later, you can have Jim make you a set of 850's

To put Luie's post in perspective, the 530bb will barely squeeze out 500 whp on a DJ and the curve will have huge midrange torque with a meager top end at that power level.
