Sorry forgot to reply to the other ?s. 42's are plenty, yes to the walbro and AFPR, but stock pressure will be fine with the 42's.

Well cost is one reason but this is my Daily i can bolt the supercharger on in half a day and be up and running and make over 300 rwhp easy...Enough to be in 12's no?...not bad for a daily...

Supercharger

I couldn't get a good idle with the C&L, switched to a ProM and all is well. 40-42 psi for the fuel pressure.

Go to Vortech's site. You can find out a lot about their superchargers as well as check out other customers and their supercharged cars.

oh i agree 300 rwhp isnt bad at all. But you could go On3 for cheaper, and make more power.

But i see where you are coming from. The supercharger would bolt up in a weekend, with the turbo you almost always run into some type of snag

...or blow the whole thing sky high because your half-day install didn't didn't include a tune.
