I would like to go the twin scroll route but its kinda costly. So im gonna keep it simple and go with the BEP housing. Im gonna try and find the super HX40 with the 7 blade I just don't know what housing to go with. which one would be more suited for my goals? Sorry for all the questions guys but I just wanna do this right the first time.

Are you asking which BEP housing? I definitely wouldn't use the .55 bolt-on housing with a 2.3 stroker. Go with the T3 option, or (if you can foot the bill) a small twin-scroll housing with matching manifold.

Do you think the vrsf fmic will be able to hold up to the fp red?

I would think a ets race would be better option

My Punishment core is still performing well with my H1E at over 25psi, so I would expect a VRSF to do the same.
 
Back again with another question everyone. I wanted know what intake manifold you guys would prefer from the JMF selection the street, race, or drag for my setup? I decided on the gsc s2 cams now and remember this will be on a 6 bolt head.
