Yes, whipple chargers will absolutely boost the low end, which is where you
want it considering the application for the vehicle.

Irregardless of engine, forced induction, etc, you have to make sure its
absolutely water tight.  Being fuel injected or not doesn't make a
difference... you can always mount the ECM in a water proof metal box (small
milk box-like thing).  Gaskets, gaskets, gaskets.  EFI has a major advantage
over carbs - the engine can run in nearly any position fuel wise.  A steep
incline can result in lean or rich mixtures with a carb.  THis is why my
friends and I used a dual-holley intake, and have the carbs facing away from
one another, on a steep incline, one's rich one's lean, which helped.  Not
as much as we hoped.

EFI is really the way to go.  Use good gaskets and good sealant.
