Default supercharger advice

im looking for a basic supercharger to install on my car

306, e303, cobra up/lower, 1.6 rr's, forged pistons, 9 1 compression, gt40alum heads, shorties/full exhaust, t5

right now i have stock mass air meter and stock 19lb injectors and a 255lph in the tank, what size injectors would be recommended for a s/c?

i am also looking to get one of those C&L power pipes instead of the mac fender well i have, i have heard good things about the power pipes with a s/c setup, chime in if you know anything about them

i have been looking at the vortech v3 s trim s/c

why don't you buy kweeb's supercharger. He seems like a good fellow. Plus his still has warranty I believe.

Here is a link to the injectors. http://buyfordracing.com/ 209 with free shipping you can't go wrong. It is where mine came from too.

When buying supechargers, I would buy used. It's what I did, plus you will save lots of $$$, especially since you have a Fox. Corral.net is a good place to check out. You will need 42lb injectors, a bigger MAF(the 90mm Lightning MAF works great. $90 NEW on Ebay) and a tune. For more power I would get a smaller SC pulley and a powerpipe from UPR or AFM. My preferance is Vortech V2. It sounds good and makes good power. With everything you should hit 450rwhp w/slightly less torque.

Thanks alot for the info, yes i will be picking up 42lb injectors, i was looking at the v3 since it's internally lubricated and i dont need to run lines

also for the power pipe i was checking out the c&l 76 with 42 lb mass air flow calibration would this be fine?
