It didnt blow over my head, I could care less..
Anyway, I had a ford sportsman b50 block at 1 point. Its a 2 bolt block that's not much stronger than the stock block.
It made 850 to the wheels with a 76mm turbo and went 8.70s. Im not sure how the chevy blocks compare; however, I will say this.
DFI and the right tuner is the KEY to making it live. End of story.

SomeWhatStock is right DFI and the right tuner is the key. I have been running DFI for a while now and the car drives like stock. The car was tuned by Job Spetter Jr
If you cannot afford the Gen7 at this time, maybe you can get away with the DFI Thruster kit. It is not as deep a software as its big brother, but I have heard of a lot of people having success with it.
Anyways, whichever system you decide to get make sure it is a system your tuner is comfortable with.

bro, how many more people have to tell you the same answer! The way to go is dfi or fast, do you see any other racer using anything else?.... No! If you don't have the money then save it. Stop beating around the bush with all the other junk!:nono: Sorry bro, don't mean to be a dick but your questions are getting redundant. If you want a straight answer head over to Super Street Performance and talk to manny, or Mustang Magic and talk to joe! they are both on Li and both have been in the game longer then us! Thats if your looking for someone else to tell you the SAME THING!

Im just some moron with a driveway, but my 300ci single turbo car makes more power than either of your examples.
Job Spetter is my new tuner, but I must give credit where credit is due and Joey at MM tuned that 2 bolt block into the 8s for me back in the day. That was with a gen 6 DFI.
For a fact, the serious racers use DFI, BS3 and FAST.
Im not talking anything away from JBE, Im just saying that Autronics is for kids.

B&G has some long wait times, Hellion stuff is on the shelf waiting to ship, but you're talking a custom set-up with a Chevy in there.
I'm using a FAST XFI on my turbo set-up, glad I dropped the coin for a well known system, the help and availability of parts you need come into play now when you get into this kind of money.
I've never heard of Autronics at all.
