I highly recommend an RFS for your goals. Aside from more flow potential, the main point is that an RFS will stabilize your fuel pressure and equalize flow during boost. It will also make tuning easier and the tune itself more consistent over time.
Since you mention longevity, IMO this is fairly important unless you're on a shoestring budget... and in that case why even go FI...

What do you think about this set up?
Procharger C2, CJM-S2 RFS, DW 600cc injectors, Uprev tune (can get done @ Austin Uprev), Wabro 255LPH, Cosworth fuel rails, Motordyne 5/16 spacer and some good high flow cats.

Some wiggle room never hurts. I was so busy reeling off parts that I overlooked the fuel rails on the CJM-S2. By the way, how much boost can you safely get away with using stock internals?

Doesn't matter if you are running 350whp or 400whp you are at risk for failure. IMO do everything you can afford, if you can't afford a built motor right now then do all the mods you would need for when you have a built motor because eventually it will blow or you will decide you want more power.

You guys are confusing power with torque. Torque is what snaps rods, and your turbo setups putting out 360whp and 400whp were also putting out close to 360wtq and 400wtq. Superchargers don't put out nearly that much, which is why they are generally safer for stock motors. My 400whp setup is only putting down 330wtq. Not saying SC guys haven't gone through motors, but it is much less likely (given a proper tune) in comparison for that reason alone.

There is some truth to your statement about blown engines, but I've heard many people have been running TT & SC on a daily driver for years with no problem. I'm just saying with proper tuning aren't a high percentage of blown engines driver failure? Not to say that you guys who have blown your engines don't know what you are doing, it's that mistakes can happen (over revving etc.).

I just received my procharger kit! Next step is a Cosworth plenum and fuel rails. I am looking for some insight as to what size fuel injectors I should use for a 7-9 psi setup? Also, if anyone can give a heads up on idler pulleys and if I should stick with the procharger ones or what? Finally, I am always wanting to get the most bang for my buck, so with that being said would a full stand alone ECU (Haltech) work better than a reflash such as Osirus? Overkill with the Haltech?
Congrats... Is it a new setup from directly from Procharger or did you buy it through a dealer? The reason I'm asking, some owners in the past saw their main brace flex at high boost levels which led to belt slip and belts breaking. Let's just say a lot of bitching when on around here... I'm curious to see the latest main brace design if it's from Prochager. I would hope they machined the brace differently or added a slightly thicker metal in stratigic areas to reduce brace flex at high boost levels. If it is from Procharger please take some straight on shots of the main brace from the front and back and post it up here, thanks in advance!
Also, if you still in the process of getting everything together for you setup, consider running your belt in this configurations (see link) and not Prochargers suggested configuration. You'll grap more cog pulley teeth

I ran my ProCharged G for 4 years at 7psi. Return fuel system, 720cc injectors, built 5AT and UTEC- all work done by SGP Racing... It's wonder that after a year of kinks it ran pretty flawlessly for an FI VQ!
Have fun. I loved and miss the whistle and god-awful loud noises it used to make. You can't hide it, and I loved that.
Good luck with it all!

The combination of supporting mods (e.g. lack of), EMS and tune, and driving habits are far more likely to pop a stock engine than raw numbers.

I wouldn't get so worked up over numbers. I've seen 330wtq snap rods in a matter of months and 450wtq/500whp run until the owner got bored with the stock block and went with a full build.
