I've been pondering my goals for my truck. If I go FI eventually I want a system that can support larger HP (500+). Are the only carb approved FI systems the p1-sc and radix? What ever happened to the sts being certified?

I think anything that messes with the intake or Cat location must must be certified. If the STS gets certified it will be the only bonafide way to make huge power. I've heard of guys running the procharger kit with the d1, which is not carb certified but some smog techs won't know the difference between compressors.

I'd say the most likely way is to use a blower and then a shot of nitrous
The P1 and a nice 100hp shot should be able to get you where I was with the STS and big boost. At least I would think anyway. The really fun way would be with the Radix and a big shot but traction would be a total bitch. LOL

That's a manly setup right there bro!

Blown- I think your set up would be perfect with a 100 shot. By big power I'm mean around 600hp streetable. F-body fast car fast. Has anybody tried spraying a decent shot with a blower? Can you do direct port with the radix on top of the intake?
