The 36#ers might be ok, idk. I ended up ebaying my 30# injectors no reserve for $138 and bought the 42#ers for $250. SO that wasn't a big deal. You'll deffinately encouter probs on the way.
Wen I put mine on a had to buy a new coolant reservoir (cuz I'm an impatient idiot) this shouldn't be a problem for you. I also had to put on a new tensioner, not so much because I'm an impatient idiot...but becaue their aluminum and will round out easily. I didn't see a fuel pump in the pics though. Get a focus SVT pump. It's plug and play. I originally bought the Ford supercar GT fuel pump...but is a HUGE pita to put on so I ended up with the SVT fuel pump.
I think for you the biggest PITA is going to be figuring out how to rock the tensioner while you mount the sc+bracket.
My instructions said "Lock the tensioner into place with a pair of locking pliers" well, I ended up holding the tensionerit into place while my buddy figured the belt and mounted the bracket...
That tune is garbage. I wouldn't trust it farther than I could throw it. Start the car. Check for leaks & tow it to your dyno shop...

THey are RC engineering 370CC injectors, i think 370cc is 36# but I'm not totally sure. It does look like the kit comes with the MAF in the pics...guy might have just not remembered to mention it in the notes. I suppose I will have to wait and see what all is needed to complete the kit when I get it from UPS.

The kit comes with a walbro in-line fuel pump but it says in the notes that its not pictured, I will probably order an SVT focus pump anyway though....just for peace of mind. So I think I'm gunna go check ebay / forums for used FRPP 42# injectors, 90mm maf, and focus svt pump.

Oh I know the tunes they come with are complete garbage...I already called around my local shops and got dyno tune quotes.

Thanks for the link Code, I'm actually going to try to find some slightly used ones before resulting to spending more on brand new...but those are good prices.

Hey guys I just won a used novi 1000 kit on ebay. It comes wtih 370CC injectors (36#?) but doesn't mention coming with a MAF. What is a good MAF for me to get? I have heard the lightning 90mm MAFs suck? Also will these injectors be enough to handle 9-10PSI, 370-390ish RWHP? The kit says it comes wtih a Walbro in-line fuel pump, I believe the car is equipped stock with a in-tank fuel pump..should I just get an SVT focus fuel pump or how do I go about rigging in this in-line fuel pump?
Any advice is very much appreciated! Thanks guys!
Here is link to the kit I won!

If the injectors are 36 pounders you should be fine with them with anything under 400 WHP, but a set of 42s would give you more room to grow. Honestly, if you plan on a forged assembly down the road and can get away with the 36ers for now I would do so and then upgrade to 50s or 60s when you forge the assembly.

The lightning maf works very well, thats what I am currently running.

edit: I just looked it up and 370CC injectors are equal to 36# injectors, so I guess I get to save about 200 bucks there.

I am running 10 PSI non intercooled. So long as you have IAT sensor after the blower and a tune setup to pull timing when the intake temp increases.

30#ers are deffinately too small. 36#ers are questionable. Talk to the fella who is gonna tune you car. Your in southern cal I'm sure lack of tuners aren't the problem. Here is your problem...
Find a reputable guy. Search your local forums& make up your mind upon that. There's deffinately a couple tuners in your area that won't F with you. Lots of the "tuners" are actually salesmen. Careful...take your time...
