procharger safety
I just got my procharger put in. My question is since I don't have forged internals I was wondering what I could do to make the procharger safer for my car? Ex. A special blow-off valve perhaps? Any safety mods?

The kit should come with a "blow off valve" stock. As far as safety goes, like mentioned before, make sure you get a professional tune. And it never hurts to have a few gauges either. I'm just using a fuel pressure gauge and boost/vac now. But it never hurts to have an wideband 02 sensor either.
Another thing is making sure you have a large enough fuel system. You don't want to be cruising around with your injectors and fuel pump at a 98% duty cycle.

wide band 02 to monitor a/f
boost to check for boost levels
fuel press gauge to make sure you dont run out of fuel
the best thing to do is to get a conservative tune. probably some where around the high 380-400whp range depending on dyno. 42lbs injectors and a ford gt pump should keep the fuel good just dont try to run your car for a top speed pull or you can run out of fuel and lean your car out then boom!
