I am currently running 24lb injectors. Do you think that is enough for one of these small superchargers or should I step up to 30, 36 or 42's? If I can get away with 24's it saves me about $350 but I don't want to compromise my engine for that amount.

I want it to be less than $2500 but know I will be into it for aroud $3k. Is procharger the one with a built in oil system.
All their head units except for the p600b have a built in oil system. But its kinda a trade because ive been told that although you dont need to tap your pan, changing the head unit oil is a BITCH.

It doesnt take a ton of money to make great power from a supercharger. If you get either the SC trim or the novi 1000 you will make good power all for under 2K brand new. If you want to upgrade later on down the road(which you will) you can spend 200 on a new pulley set up and be able to pull 500 hp out of theese blowers. I have less than 2K invested in my A trim(not includingsupporting fuel mods)and its supporting 450rwhp. If you have a little extra $ and like the self contained oiling system there are tons of guys making great power with prochargers.

If your sticking with 5-6 psii think you mightbe ok with the 24'sdepending on your other mods. The kit will come with a FMU to bump the fuel pressure while under boost which will help out. But your better off getting a better pump larger injectors and a maf because eventually you will want to up the boost, its hard to stop it when an extra 40hp is only a $30 pulley away
