Welcome. Best way to meet members, and see/hear mods is obviously at meets. For now they are pretty much done due to weather, but keep an eye out. I know PFS is having a nice dyno gathering the 12th-check out the other thread for info on that.

+1 and make sure if you go FI to go twins instead of supercharged. you will save alot of money in the end run.

keep an eye out for the meets coming up this spring when the weather gets warmer out. The mid-A crew is definitely fun to hang out with and party with.

Congrats on the new toy and welcome to the Mid-A! We have a friendly crowd here can be very helpful when making decisions. Remember to search for answers in the forum but dont be afraid to ask if you have questions and attend the meets when you can even the small ones that are held at the local Starbucks.

Good luck and remember to have fun with the mod bug when it bites!

You dont need an oil cooler, I dont run one, just get a good flux capacitor and do regular maintenance and you will be fine.

depends on the power levels you want. supercharger is great for a daily driver such as what you are looking for. With future goals of eventually getting a built engine and shooting for 500 whp or more turbos are a good choice.
