There are literally hundreds of pages on the subject, so no shortage of reading material. In this aspect, the search function will be your friend.

Be ready to spend, at minimum, $10K unless you can do everything yourself and have a star DAS system, which I am assuming you do not. This is not for the weekend warrior.

I am not trying to turn you off on the idea, just let you know it is not like installing a CAI
All do respect I'm a mechanic and I understand the difficulties that one would face in such swap. The meaning of my questiquestion was more on the side if what 8 more plausible or at least common between them all. I have good friends at AMS tuning. They have all the equipment I would need for special things like ecu tuning and modifications. Just a general question on what my best option was. I'm not short of money 10k would touch some of my previous projects. I got the crossfire for little to nothing and just looking to improve it while keeping it functional. I could easy drop all electronics and turn it in it a say hotrod but I'm looking for something more in depth. Thank for the reply.
