Change the 1000 to 1300 or 1700. Tell the tuner your final power goal and he will advise on which to get. With those mods and E85 you will go close to 500rwkw. Bigger injectors will push it further. If you are changing head gasket may as well change head studs. factory ecu is fine. Stage the surge tank pumps with pressure switch (hobbs switch).

Power is cheap. Reliability is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
