    What setup? How much boost do you wanna run, will you support the FI with other mods.

    Congrats on your purchase, but need a little more info to help properly.

    adding this u could go the N/A motor way by pulling the 6L out ect ect but u will need a even fatter wallet

    One of my mates knows a guy up here and has a big single running 5-6psi with no cam just full zorst ect and he made 415rkw apprently

    So if u added a cam and 8 - 10 pound will easily make more! id imagine single is cheaper for parts and labour too, just more food for thought!

    Take it to Mark's Workshop and get a quote. They've built some serious VE's.

    Here's a GTS

    I've got a big single running 12psi and I'm cracking 424rwkw with a cam, rod bolts, head studs, thicker gaskets ( to drop compression) - this is all on a L98 VE motor.

    There's a fair bit you have to do to make it reliable.
