How does the returnless fuel system affect you? I know it's an issue with the Comptech/Vortech systems but shouldn't be an issue with an AEM EMS.

I can not find a topic that I started but I remember that:
- A/F ratio
- Oil Press
- Water Temp
- Boost
where the most important. It deppends on how many variable you want.
Other choice is the AEM gauge; which is connected to the AEM and allows you to control over 11 features in just on guage. I think it is the best

The estimated turbo costs I've seen lately makes the BRP supercharger kit look like a steal.

The stock car is already one of the faster cars on the road today.
Going from 200 to 300 HP takes it from "fast car" to "faster than it needs to be"
Going from 300 to 400 HP takes it from "faster than it needs to be" to "faster than it needs to be"
One a dollar per HP basis, I think the BRP kit will lead all other FI options. Unfortunately, it is limited to 300-350 RWHP.
If I had it my way, I'd most certainly go turbo but I can't justify spending 10-15 on this car on my income.

^ I've already spent ~$7500 thus far. I'll spend another $10-15K on the turbo setup, and probably another ~$5K on building the engine. Even with all that I'll still need another ~$15K for:
1. OEM hardtop
2. Mugen CF hood
3. Amuse R1 front bumper
4. High performance coilovers
5. Brake upgrades
6. Paint upgrade
7. Roll bar, harnesses, etc.
I am about $30K from having the car where I want it.
