Yes I have a stout NA package, but if I had to do it all over again.. I would have went FI. I have done a lot of research on this subject. Unless you go big cubes for NA I would go FI. The T-Rex is not what you call streetable. That is a HUGE cam for a 346ci. Also, it is a crap shoot when getting NA #'s even with so called proven parts. I know of many SC'd C5's with ZERO issues and the longevity is great. Just go to www.corvetteforum.com and ask the question. I would still go with the D1SC though. Andy is telling you to go with the P1SC so he can get you on the upgrade

Here is a debate on P1 or D1.... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...42&forum_id=86

Horsepower is addictive. You will want to upgrade. No need to go crazy, but you have options. A stock shortblock can take more than people think. I would not think of going forged unless you plan to go over 600rwhp. If you decide to get even close I would ONLY race on a race gas mix. Like 3 gallons in your tank with like 6 to 8 gallons of 93 octane. The right gas saves engines..
