To remain stock or not to remain stock

[Halon]

If you are running on a tight budget, then stick with the stock FPR and BOV, and leave out the EGT gauge. You could probably get away with the stock IC piping and SMIC for now, but would recommend looking into something better when you have the money to do so, like an upgraded SMIC and piping, or an FMIC setup.

As for pump/injectors, I'd take Hughes' advice if you aren't planning on going bigger then the 16G for awhile. Another cheap pump to consider is the stock 3SI fuel pump.

I definitely recommend DSMLink. I could also let you have my old DSMLink laptop for dirt cheap if you are real crunched for money. It's nothing fancy, but it's what I'd been using until I finally upgraded to something a little nicer.

As for 300hp on a 16G setup, I suppose that depends on what dyno, and what kind of fuel.
