HI guys,

I was planning on getting a Vortech Supercharger, just a small one like the SC-Trim because I just want about 5-6psi of boost on this bad boy. I was wondering if I did get one would I have to get bigger injectors and a T-Rex pump as well? Or will my current set-up support the SC trim, not sure if it comes with an FMU though or if I will need one?

What do you guys think?

Your 255lph in-tank pump will be fine. You won't need the t-rex inline. However, those 24lbers aren't gonna get the job done. You'd need at least 30's. If you buy a complete kit, it will come with an fmu but i'm not a fan of them. If you want to do it right, get bigger injectors and a calibrated MAF to match.

If I upped the injectors to 30-36 and sent my Pro-M meter back to get it calibrated then that is it for the set-up and I will not need the FMU? I am thinking 36lb injectors then?

yeah. for 6lbs of boost, 36's would work well with the 255 inline pump.

I run 30lbers with 255lph in-tank, If you buy the kit it comes with the FMU and you can just buy calibration disc's to calibrate it

i don't see how ppl can say you save gas w/ a supercharger, if you have to put such big injectors on there - they say you will gain MPG daily driving w/ ur foot out of the throttle, but it sucks it down whne you gun it

I run 12lbs of boost with 36's and a 255lph intank pump. I had a BBK pump, same as a TRex, and I didn't need it. I still have it in a box. I do, however, have a rising rate, or boost sensitive, fp regulator that gives the engine an extra lb of fp for every lb of boost....just to be safe.

youd still want a dayno tune after the install even if you get big enough injectors because the stock fuel reg. wont increase pressure with boost, at 0vac you get all the fuel pressure it can give you
