I am not going to get the blower way to much money and time, so i am going to go the spray route with my motor. I am am going with PI Heads, VT Stage 2 Cams, Forged Bottom End, Professional Products Intake, Plenum, T-Body, and Fuel Pressure Regulator (All Polished). Also Long-Tube Headers, X-Pipe, and Flowmasters.
I WILL Be Running a 200hp Shot.

Question is:
I already Have 190lph fuel pump should i go bigger? Also i will need 2 step colder plugs what is the ngk number? What else should i do?

I am hoping for 400rwhp or more on spray can i do it?

lets weigh this out....

S/C route:
-360+ rwhp all the time
-simple install
-$3,500-$4000 (usually closer to $3700)

N/A route w/ spray-200 shot i assume:
~400 rwhp every now and then, ~275 rwhp all the time.
-before you spray, make sure your bottle is on, armed, warmed and the correct size jet is in.
-you need a flip chip for the spray, especially that size.
-car will run rough with the plugs required for that big of a shot.
-heads: 2k
-cams+ bottom end: 2k
-spray + bells and whistles: 1k+

-total:5k+

assuming you install everything yourself, but few actually have the time, tools, or knowledge to rip apart an engine

s/c looks like the best route to me, but what do i know. its your car


EDIT: as for the pump, i'd go with the 255 w/ that kinda power. bigger injectors too. a 200 shot will put a ton more air into that 4.6

well then disregard my last comment
just wondering, why did you choose the PI heads over a set of aftermarket like VT or Patriot?

You're very likely to have trouble with the plugs fouling at 2 steps cooler.

I too had at first considered the spary route. I even went and talked to
a local installer and asked questions. I like my power when I want it and
as often as I want it. To me spraying was not the answer. Yeah, it's
cheaper initially, and probably overall. But you have to fill the bottle
every so often, which would be too often for me. So I went the supercharger route and am very pleased with the outcome. The install
was not too hard and now I have power whenever I want it.
