Default Starting to formulate a plan - need advice...

I am REALLY set on going F/I now after researching this route for over a year now... I think I've finally decided on a route to go:

Vortech Tuner Kit (no FMU/Engine Management)
3.13 pulley
PE 380cc Injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump (return-style fuel system needed?)
Technosquare Reflash then fine-tune w/ GReddy E-manage

Taking into consideration what mods I have, what else do I need (or would help) to get the most out of this system? I am going to have SGP racing in Houston do the install/tune FYI... their quote was as follows:

$70/hr install supercharger (~10hrs) = $700
$100 injector install
$??? install fuel system (depending on route)
$250/hr tune (~$350)

= $1500-2000

Too much? I know they are the best in the area, but I'm trying to stay within my budget ($6-7K)


Thanks guys for the advice!

100 for the injector install seems realy low. I thought it took at least 3 hours for such a job.

I think I could do the blower install, but I'm not for sure if I want to mess with the injectors and the fuel pump/lines/etc...

the $100 for the injector install was in addition to the blower install - kinda like a discount I guess... Enron, do you know of anyone else in Houston that could do the install (a quality install) for less? I was talking to some guys at Turbochargers.com and they said they could do it all for $1,000 + dyno tuning...

Default Vortec S/C

I would also ask if it is critical to upgrade the fuel delivery system?
