KB charger on a stock '94 GT, can it be done?

[FO94302GTRD]

Ok, so I own a bone stock 94 GT (save for flowmaster 2 chamber exhaust,) and I'm thinking about putting a KB 2.2 Blowzilla/Flowzilla charger on the car. The car has 47,000 miles.

What exactly is needed for the installation, besides what already comes with the 2.2 KB kit? I've read about bigger fuel injectors, TB, etc, but from what I've read on the KB website I should be able to use a 8 psi 2.2 blow/flow kit and leave everything else stock, albeit without optimum performance at the lower boost level. Is the Kenne Bell website misleading me? If I was running 8 psi of boost on a stock fuel and air delivery system, would it hold out?

Also, what is the exact procedure for "tuning" this car after the sc installation? One of my biggest concerns is finding a shop around here that is capable of setting my car up properly.

New to the forums here, been lurking for years. Bought my car last April and have had fun with it, but I'm itching to get it up to speed.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that you need a Gt-40/Cobra lower intake manifold. The guys at KB seem to know how to make power, but I don't know if I would use stock injectors etc at that boost level. Maybe others can help you out with that. I def would not run it without a good tune. In my opinion, KB is one of the better superchargers out there (from reading about them in the Mustang mags etc), good low end torque and staying power for the top end. I've never priced them, so I can't say whether or not they are a good deal compared to other SC's or turbos. Good Luck with your car and let us know what you decide to do.

Running ANY blower with a stock fuel system will result in yur motor becoming scrap metal in short order. With the 2200 blower, KB doesn't sell the supporting equipment as a kit - or they never used to. You will need a 255 fuel pump, 42# injectors and at least a 90mm Lightning MAF - and to run all that, you'll need a tune/chip. That greatly increases the price of the blower, but it is required to do it right.

To save money, you could get the base 1500 kit - it comes with an FMU so you can run stock injectors with it. You still may peg the MAF with that setup and you would need a bigger fuel pump or boost-a-pump. FMUs work by raising FP with boost and are like using hammer to set your watch, i.e. not a great way to fine tune it. But it will most likely be safe.
