I personally think its a good idea you're selling the SS IC. IMO, if your getting an IC get a Full Sized and when you do that get a GM Pump and have a realible setup. I've had my set up near 3 years now mostly being a DD and I never had one single problem yet. If you buy a cheap ass pump, expect problems. The GM or Bosch pumps cost $100+ but are realible and very efficent. The SS IC comes with a Flojet and they can be unrealible, i've seen many fail. Spend the money on a GOOD FMHE and a GOOD Pump and you'll have no problems.
Otherwise do alky, with a good tune it can net you some gains. IMO, way better than just an SS IC can offer...
