For a vortech SC trim (5-6 psi), are 24 lb injectors and a FPR ok? will the gas mileage be much worse than the 19 lb's? And slightly off topic, what's with the BOV's for supercharger kits? is there much use/purpose, or just the sound? thanks guys. trying to weigh out my options.

Hector: Nice wheels. Whatcha running under there?
[Brian looks at him, but doesn't answer]
Hector: You're gonna make me find out the hard way? You're brave! You're brave. They call me Hector. Got a last name too, but I can't pronounce it.
Brian: Brian Earl Spilner.
Hector: Typical white boy name.

You may find you'll need the FMU under boost, gas mileage should not be effected much if you can keep your foot out of the pedal..lol

BOV's are recirculating on any 89+ mustang that has a mass air meter, so they do not make any noise. If you use a intercooler and bleed off the pressure before the MAF you can vent it out and make noise. The purpose is when the throttle closes abrupt yout trap a lot of air in the tubing if you can not vent it away from the blower it will actually go back into the blower and can cause damage to the impeller. BOV's are normaly not needed until 8psi..
