Just playin' Marc!
To stay on topic, I might be a bit biased but think it is definitely worth it to put FI on at any point. I had mine ordered within 3 months of owning the car and I have no regrets at all. If you're gonna get wet, ya might as well go swimming...

Hehe! Sorry, I had to... it's been too long since I gave you a hard time about it
Isn't it about done? I thought you were just waiting on the sprag?
I really wish you'd hurry up... the sooner you get your sprag, the sooner I get mine

getting in touch with Lance seems as hard as to talk with the President of the United States...

Juice!
Nice!!!
Can you give me a rundown of what engine mods are needed to support nitrus? Is it just a fuel pump bypass?
Also how much extra power does nitrus give you? Is this something that is measurable? I am just curious when folks talk about blowers you can dyno it, measure the boost, etc. but when it comes to juice no one ever questions how much extra power you actually get. If I get a PHP blower, would that make the car faster or slower than a similar car on juice going through the 1/4?

It's not an apples to apples comparison between nitrous and F/I. Nitrous is only used for short spurts, so you could say your car is faster or quicker during that time, but a supercharger is always on and it's power output increases as the RPMs increase. However, I would say that it's possible that your car would be faster with nitrous in the 1/4 mile.
