Get a used holley ECU and make sure you have a well known "power adder" machine shop sticker like you see on the street outlaw cars. So you have some creditability at your local test and tune. Make around 15-20 lbs of boost and voila!!! Easiest 1200 hp you've ever made. You'll have as much in your engine as some guys have in their stocker heads and intake alone.
Sad depending on your POV, but very true!
