So you're going to drop 5k down on procharger and it's mainly going to be for show?????


yeah, showing how you can't keep a set of tires on the 98 because you're roasting them every chance you get! Nice try, but i don't believe you.............lol

You can install it yourself. It's not that hard. Stock injectors and fuel pump? I wouldn't go over 6 lbs of boost.

Just do the job right and get all that is needed or don't get anything at all its only going to cause pain in the longrun.

Who did you talk to at Procharger that said you didn't need to tune your car after a blower install haha. The kit probably comes with a tuner pre-loaded with a tune for their base kit. Even their base kit that runs 8psi is enough to blow your bottom end if not tuned correctly.

Just get a 3.4 pulley and max it out! It will give you an excuse to get a new built motor when it blows!

I like your style haha

I've never heard of anyone saying run the stock injectors/pump for ANY amount of boost I wouldn't do it. Just don't get a tuner kit and it should come with injectors and a pump. I believe pretty much all of our vendors that sell supercharger kits have full kits available...minus fluids/small things.

I have alot of experince in the supercharged stangs and learned most of it the costly way. Stock injectors and pump not going to function correctly. And as for as the tune you will have to have the car tuned or get ready for some real expense when your building that forged engine. Who at ati told you different ?
But in the long run its your car try it.
