I just installed a powerdyne supercharger on my 89(the 6# kit). Have afew questions....
-What the timing should be set at?
-Do I need the FMU with 30# injectors?
-Last but deff. not least. After running it for about 10 minutes it blew the pcv vavle out. Any ideas?

Any other helpful hints welcome.

Thanks

The base timing should be at 10* spout in. As far as the FMU you won't know unless you get it on a dyno. You won't even get the gains you are looking for until you get it tuned.

I installed my kit and went straight to the tuner, we swapped the cal disc in the FMU, cleaned the MAF, and set the timing at 10* which netted me 115 more RWHP than when I drove in........


Get that thing tuned, trust me
