I should point out that I don't know as much as some of the guys on the F.I. part of this site. The good thing about the active kit is that it comes with an inter-cooler and an oil cooler, and is very complete. Also right now they are on sale. They also have a pretty good technical support on hand. Many people say that the vortech blowers that come with dinan, RMS and VF kits are more reliable but I can't agree or disagree since I don't have enough information on the topic. Someone else might chime in on this that might know more.

I use an Clutchmasters FX700. A couple people here run it also its good up to 700hp. you could probably go with something a little more conservative with 300 400whp.With this power goal in mind i would just get a thicker headgasket and ARP studs , GT35R maybe find a used manifold and piece together a turbo setup. This is the cheapest route to go. With that Headgasket you can easily run 400whp (higher boost) and more without any internals.
