Alright, time is creeping up. Putting an ati on my 98 cobra, and have a few questions.

What all will I need??

-42# injectors (Already Have)
-Mass Air meter (Already Have)
-255 in tank
-In line pump (Already Have)
-Chip (have an unburned one already, should I have one made close to tune for the drive to the dyno tune???)
-Fuel pressure regulator


So, what else will I need???

Please help, I'm stoked and want to make sure everything is here and ready when the time comes!

yeah make sure you have the right spark plugs that are gaped correctly for the boost and maybe a MSD ignition box or something similar.

You don't need that chip burnt for the drive out there, just make sure you have good fuel pressure less timing and DON'T GET ON IT!!!

Yeah, just dont get on it on the way to the dyno. If your ignition is stock, you'll want to gap your plugs a bit smaller too. ~.032 works pretty well on my combo. That is also what Vortech recommends, I believe.

The PCV system may need to be changed around a bit too. With a blower car, you can potentially pressurize the crankase. This of course causes oil to start blowing out everywhere. I would also make sure you have this stuff set up right before boosting the motor.

Fuel pressure guage, powerpipe, and a good belt tensioner. Oh yeah, breathers for sure, and I run a one way check valve inline with the pcv.

im not sure all that is necessary. Just make sure you re-route all your pcv lines.

Even with an MSD box? How much boost were you running?
