Are you sure you even know anything about this car? There's guys pushing 400 rwhp on stock internals that aren't close to maxing this thing out. Gretchen, although it's an LFX, it's pretty much the same thing and it took him 580 rwhp before the stock internals gave out. The stock internals are fine

400RWHP, so to the wheels correct? Everyone I have talked to about going FI is saying the safest thing to do is to upgrade fuel pump and injectors while going FI, I had told them multiple times that the stock injectors are fine from what I have read online. The fuel pump is fine too??

Yes to the wheels.

Look, and no offense but don't listen to others on this car. Trust me, I have friends who know a lot about cars but when it comes to this one, after explaining to them that we have no tuning solutions that are reliable they say "ok yea, you're right it might be better to find another car if you want to go big". The LLT is honestly completely different from what many have ever encountered. The injectors are fine. It's simple with this car. Want over 400 rwhp? Go find another car. This car won't do it reliably. Want 400 rwhp? Be prepared to do some work to get there. Can you settle for 350 rwhp? If yes, great bolt on the IPF supercharger kit and you're done. If you're response to this is... "I don't want a supercharger, I want a turbo", then again, be prepared to do work to get it. You'll need a custom turbo kit for this car and a tuning solution to do it. This is where the LLT sucks. The TUNING. Everything else is pretty much fine. If you can find a reliable tuning method, you're 95% there. You're going to have to live with the fact that the most you might get out of this car is 400-450 rwhp. If you're fine with that, the best way to get there is FI.

Believe Gretchen hasn't tried the Zl1 pump just yet but may be looking into it...dunno

I agree with LS^ Love my IPF SC Kit, don't necessarily care about the numbers bc it WILL throw you back into your seat. But his post sums it up

I could care less about rwhp numbers on a dyno, I am not looking to post the best numbers. I would rather get to the speed limit as quickly as possible. Or a 4-5 second 0-60. That would be nice

Then save up for the IPF kit. It's fully bolt on and comes with its own tuning.

Make sure you get reliable tuning. Without it, that build isn't going anywhere.

Monchy, here's an observation. The m in exterior mods should be capitalized like everything else. Sorry, just my slight OCD kicking in

What all have you done to your car performance wise? What is your fastest 1/4?

What's your fastest 0-60 time? Or 60-100?
