Tuning a supercharger

[mustangdaren]

I'll be looking for the SC-trim, the one that makes 6 lbs of boost stock. I believe the supercharger kit comes with a high-flow fuel pump, but I don't know how big or how good it is. I have an 80mm Pro-M MAF calibrated for 19 lb injectors, I'll hook it up when I do the SC. So for now, I'll just use the FMU, with the stock injectors, whatever fuel pump the SC comes with, and my 80mm MAF. I'll probably get a powerpipe later down the road.

The sc-trim kit comes with no fuel pump, bypass valve or BTM. The s-trim is the one that comes with that stuff. I bought the sc-trim, a MSD6-BTM, aluminum discharge tube, Bosch bypass valve, Walbro GSS340 fuel pump and still come out way cheaper than the s-trim.

Thanks PNY PWR! That's what I was looking to hear. I have a 180* t-stat sitting in my toolbox. I can get a high-flow fuel pump for $50 from my friend who's selling it, I'll probably pick it up if the supercharger I get doesn't have it. The MAF I have is calibrated for 19 lb injectors.

I'm running 24 lb injectors with an 8:1 FMU and no tune. I put it on the dyno and pulled 383 hp at the rear wheels with 408 lbs of torque. Additionally, they stuck the A/F reader in the exhaust and the curve was perfect through the entire run.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't have a chip burnt, but it's not required.

Btw - it's run strong with this same set-up for over two years!

My Novi1000 kit didn't come with a bypass valve. I picked up a Bosch 110 model and installed it at the same time. I've had no idle issues or surging, so make sure you have one. My idle is great.

If you're running a chip, pull it out.

The bigger fuel pump is a good idea, just in case.

Check your cap/rotor/plug wires, you want your ignition running up to snuff.

I'd slap on that MAF meter when you do the install since it's good to go with your stock injectors.
