I was wondering what other parts would a need to safely run a vortech or powerdyne supercharger at a modest 6-8 psi? Would 24lb injectors be good enough? How about the stock fuel pump? If not, what fuel pump? Any other things besides these 2 parts....? Thanks in advance........

if you buy the kit from vortech you dont need anything else to run it.

it comes with a FMU (bandaid) to boost fuel pressure to use the stock fuel injectors, and a boost a pump to increase fuel pump flow.


if you want to run more boost, you have plenty of things to add to let you grow.

like getting rid of the FMU and running 36lb injectors (stock heads/cam/intake) or 42lb injectors, a walbro 255 high pressure fuel pump, and computer tuning, either doing it youself with a PMS or a twEECer R/T and a wideband o2 setup, or getting it dyno tuned.

Don't install it...or disconnect it and hook the lines back up in the stock configuration.

The most important things are to follow the directcions when installing the kit, give your car a fresh tune up, and and make sure your engine is in good working order.

If you have problems with your motor now and you bolt on the blower you are going to have bigger problems really soon.
