I'am thinking of ID1000 for injectors any other suggestions?

I don't think ID1000's will be enough honestly. Especially running E85. I'd said more like 1600's. You don't wanna be running at 98% duty cycle all the time.

I say turbo for sure. It's less common from what I've seen and the sound is amazing too. Some others have brought up heat and boost control too which are also good reasons for a turbo.

Yeah your rite on the ID1000 I will be needing more injector, I call Kurgan they said they can fab up a turbo kit minus the turbo for 6 grand what do you think is this a good price for a single turbo setup if it is it will take me a little longer than expected to finish this build.

I voted turbo, but I'd go with a Precision 8285 BB. I'm a Wholesale Distrib for them and I've sold that turbo numerous times. It's PERFECT for you setup.

The price on the paxton is hard to ignore but I'm a turbo lean right now.

Go with the paxton, for the $$, can't be beat.

The id 1000's will take you pretty far.

I made 1003rwhp through the factory auto on them. They are close to done there (at 85psi)

If you have a fuel system that would go higher, they will deliver more. Above 100psi, the injectors get really nasty, lol.

120 psi system, the spray pattern would be awesome and you could probably make 1100 or better on e85 with them.

also, with the paxton, you really should have much custom fabbed work involved either

Neither of those.. Kenne Bell FTW!! Not only for the power, but reliability and the whine is just awesome. I'm a little bias mainly because I have one..lol

I read some where thats it's not enough hood clearance .I have already invested in a 700$ 2inch carbon fiber do not want anything taller take away from the street car look it's just a shame the twin screw not an option.

Get the turbo kit fabbed up by Kurgans. If you're going big on your last build you may as well go all out. :beer:

really? $6k for a kit minus the turbocharger? Thats sounds outrageously high. Thats typically the cheapest part of custom/DYI turbo kits, is the piping. Especially since its for a fox.
Are you going to retain a/c, power steering, pbrakes and all the amenities?

If your going to go turbo, go with ken and jon's kit. No other kit comes close to theirs.

But, for the $$, i still say go with a vortech or paxton from me!!!! ;)
