preferrably 190-210whp. all while passing emissions, apparently it can be done with a Bell S3, stock injectors, and zoom3 ecu (and a few other mods)
which brings me to the fact i hear nothing but good about FM, and complaints with Bell (i.e. shipment taking months, not as easily assembled,etc.)
but bell's horsepower numbers attract me

FM spent A LOT of time developing a manifold/down pipe design so it could be easily assembled, incorporating a lot of space for wrenches I have a few BEGI products and they're all awesome, but they're also all used, so I have no experience with their shipping. I'd like to say that FM's low HP numbers are due to their fairly high altitude, bring an FM car down to a lower elevation and it should be closer to BEGI's in terms of power output.

I've learned my lesson... stay away from anything that requires you to hack the factory wiring harness (Voodoo) and stick with an ECU that will PnP (ZOOM3). You can mix&match parts as well... if you decide you like the FMII hardware, you can always buy it without the Voodoo and buy a Zoom from BEGi.
Tell us more about your goals, what the car will be used for, budget, year of car, etc... better yet, put your vehicle in formation in a signature like Curly's or Dustin's.

as of now it's a 2003 6speed, Bilstein's,R_Speed intake, HD Hard Core Double Diagonal, BOSE, Torsen, 99300 miles. my goals are well not appropriate for a forum but i will say id like to be "quicker" than stock mustang gt's, and a few others, i know it can be done with 200whp in a miata, but i dont have the maturity for an FMII or Bell s4 kit :lol: i think ill leave it at 200 sounds like a good number for me
*edit- saved signature but not appearing for some reason...is showing up on user CP

I have the Voodoo, it really was no problem to install. But with that said, the ONLY reason I went that route was because I did not have the time to tune real fuel management. I will be swapping the Voodoo out as soon as I return home. As for FM, they do rock, their stuff is solid, well tested, and works. I went with the Voodoo kit and I am very impressed, at 6psi and super super super rich with horrible timing the car was still very fast. There is still a lot for me to tune out of that setup.
Anyways, welcome!
