Still driving my FI '07 AMV8 with g302 injectors, pro-M Mafs and boost-a-pump. Runs Vortech V3 with water-air intercooler. Tuned through AM ECU. All pretty much custom.

How is the car with the Vortech on it? I am looking for more power, but not trying to spend $20k+ on a kit for an 8 year old car.

Car runs well, but takes a huge amount of work and expense. 550 HP to the rear wheels.
$20K won't even come close, not practical for the average guy.

I had to buy everything AM would sell me, learn OBD2 seed-key algorythm, buy odb2 serial reader/writer, reverse many HP tuner and SCT maps to apply to AM, learn PowerPC, disassemble the code with IDA-PRO, work out many of the Ford algorythms with available C++ code online, Ford patent details, then identify all maps and scalars.
Then the work really got hard ... 1000's of hours of trial and error datalogging ... not for the weak of heart.

You sir win. That is some true dedication. I would not have the time to put towards making that happen.

Amazing work and a nice conservative boost level
Not sure I'd have the ***** to take the risk!
