What's the best way not to go backwards?

IMHO the best way to F/I is to start with a built block. This will in the long run save you ca$h. You will need to build the block with ~8.5:1 compression to add F/I. This way you get an increase in power, AND when you have the funds to F/I the engine you will not be limited ; you can go ST, TT or SC with no problem. Depending on you pockets you can try and install as many of the components you will need for F/I such as a standalone EMS, etc. Once you decide on what system you want it will be just a matter of addidng the turbos or supercharger and related plumbing.
I learned the hard way. I went TT on a stock block; which is like riding on a ticking bomb. I am always careful not to exceed my RPM limit (6K). Now I when I build teh block I will wind upgrading to bigger turbos; I have the JWT TT kit so I will go from the 500 to the 800 series turbos. Just my 2c
Spacer is great, I did that and the MREV at the same time and it really woke the engine up. Go ahead and get the test pipes, they work well with the NA setup too. You could always do what I'm doing and get the MD XYZ pipe w/ cat module.
As far as tuning look into the Osiris from Uprev too.

Cool, thanks and I understand about the questions. Just we all know how expense FI gets small upgrades knocks you back a few hundred. FI cost 12k or better just want it move forward while saving for FI.

Anyways, you can do exhaust, plenum spacer and an engine mangement system to hold you over. Make sure your exhaust is 3" though.

[QUOTE=tgunsg35]This might be a dumb question but bear with me. Does the turbonator really work? I see it on tv all the time, but i don't know anyone that owns one. Do you think its compatible with my JWT cold air intake?[/QUOTE]

Thank you
Thank you for your help I think that sounds great. I might go with the utec as well but paying twice for a tune just puts a bad taste in my month.
