Hello all, I ran across a deal that seems pretty good. My buddy is selling a PS1C for 1600 with FMU and intercooler and the needed brackets,hoses,ect.

Here is the thing though, I want to go conservative with my stock bottom end, and the trickflow track heat kit from summit. this charger has a 12 rib(!!!!) setup and supposedly a 14 lb pulley.
But then I was wondering why it had an FMU for that much boost. i know I can pulley it down, but can I get a 8 or 10lb pulley in 12 rib or chang the carnk pulley to accomadate a 8 rib pulley.

So what would be the best fuel setup and boost amount for right about 400 at the tires, i hear the FMUs are not reccomended and I just got a Pro-M 80 mm maf for my 24s before i found this. Cna I just get this maf recal'd for larger injectors and supercharger use?

I didn't think they would put a 12 rib on the P1SC or the smaller blowers.

The 12rub set-up will caise clearance issue with the radiator, and other things up front. A swap to a 8rib pulley would be better IMO.

I would go with w 36# inj (42# if you plan to get a tune) NO FMU, and yes have the 80,mm recalibrated $110. A 255lph hp pump should be fine, is he giving you the ATI inline pump?

I dont know about the inline pump, so ill have to find out. So 8 rib shouldnt have any slippage problems at 8 to 10 lbs of boos right?
Also I have a regular MAF , do I have to get a "draw through meter"?

ATi has a nice tensioner system, works better then the other brands. You will need a BLOW through meter with the intercooler.

SO a draw through is on the inlet side of the supercharger?

Sorry I mis-typed you need a BLOW THROUGH meter, it is after the blower and intercooler.

D'oh Ill just have to get another, I guess.

Do i need a 255 running only 8lbs of boost or can I run a 190 that I have in it?

The 190lph with a inline style pump would be fine but if your not going to run the inline pump I would rather see a 255lph in there to ensure you have volume at the rails.
