Minor as in dollar wise or work wise? If you want to go safe and not looking for a ton of power I would say a Smarty. Gives you all of what you were looking for. If you want more, power & torque. Injectors, fueling box (Edge or adrenaline, tst/w smarty) Then turbo upgrade clutch .... Then your hooked and won't be able to stop

I think i commented on your other post but a few things you can do are.. Injectors, Turbo, Your programmer(s), Hot Rod Injection pump if you trust them , fass or airdog pump, and then you get into head and block work. Keep in mind that your trans will have to be equally as powerful as what your doing to your motor so a clutch would probably be one of the first steps you should take.. A smarty is a programmer and tst is the company that makes it

Do you have gauges?
None of it's cheap. But if you want to play and play safe you have to pay. Beats the heck out of loosing a injection pump or even worse a motor!
