Engine build for 10-12 lbs on S/C?

Either step down to 9psi so you don't need a headgasket, get an emanage maybe some 550 injectors and call it a day OR step up to 15psi, get a headgasket, larger injectors, and an AEM EMS.
the 10-12 range kinda sucks because its between expensive and cheap but leaning on the expensive side.

I have a bit of thinking to do on this, How reliable would 15 psi be on an S though even with a headgasket ems etc.I have to look in on if the novi 1000 would even handle/be efficient at 15 lbs.

With the headgasket it should be just as reliable as stock assuming the tune is good because it really all comes down to the tune.

I know someone with a 15psi comptech sc, when it was first tuned it made 380 something horsepower so its still pretty efficent

I remember seeing a person's sig having the pulley on the comptech. I have also thought about it, but I am liking what I see on my 3.5 and where I am in my sig.
I would like to be in the 400 club someday. But as they all say, "It's all in the TUNE!" Good luck with your mods.
change the oil squirters over to the revision that was introduced midway through the MY02 run... I just learned of this myself and so am no authority on it but from what I gather it has been linked that people who do not update the squirters when going FI have major issues with a specific cylinder starving for oil and causing catostrophis failure such as breaking a connecting rod and having the piston come up and slam into your open valves, ect, ect... I am changing mine when I go FI... do a search and read up on it

^Yep it's very important. You get cylinder 4 wall scoring and other troubles with the old kind and hard tracking/FI.
clutch, supra turbo pcv or single krank vent...better bov the comptech stock one is rated at 8psi. ported TB.
I was running 10.8psi on a stock motor (stock gasket) Thats probably at the edge of saftey. A larger exhaust will probably help a bunch as well. Good luck with it.
p.s. I would suggest getting 750c injectors so that if (heh when) you add more psi you will be fine to about 500hp.
