Default RE: Too much fuel for a NA setup??

The blower is a very tight fit with the way my intercooler and radiator are mounted. My car runs warmer than I'd like with the intercooler mounted where it is at the moment, and honestly, I'm afraid for my non-forged interals. So why not take it off, sell the setup and have a streetable 01 that I can fiddle with?

why are you pulling the blower? Whats your setup going to be n/a wise?

your fine on the stock injectors until you start getting into the motor itself. once you do a shortblock/heads etc etc your going to need to upgrade the injectors to at least 24 lb/hr. I beileve the 19s cut out around 310ish whp?
yea that's about it. i made 301 with them, 30 lbers are ideal because they have room for some improvement but aren't too big, and making 300-325 you aren't running them at 100% like stockers. even with 24's you'd be running them injectors pretty hard. i had 30's when i was making 309 N/A.

Your worried that your blower is going to overheat your car, and it isn' streetable atm?

Do what? Seriously, this has to be the strangest statement about a blower car I have ever heard. Did you install the blower, or was it on the car when you bought it?

You spent around 4-5k bucks on a blower setup... and now you want to take it off... you probably wont get anywhere near what you paid for it... unless you bought the car with it...

I got the car with this all installed. The intercooler is mounted in front of the radiator so the radiator doesn't have any room to breath. And ya, I understand that an intercooled blower will not over heat a car... ha. If your that interested I will take a few pictures and show you what I mean.
The 4v engine in my 96 body is a tight fit in itself and when you get a bigger radiator, intercooler, blower mounted at the front of the car it makes for an extremely tight fit. Id rather ditch the blower/intercooler and just run the 4v engine NA.
