Default HELP!!! blower on, but dies when u give it gas

sorry let me be specific... THE CAR DIES YOU WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS, it will idle but thats all. the guy working on my car said he called procharger tech support and they told him that because the car has 42# injectors it will die due to the computer still thinking it has the stock injectors... is his TRUE? I hope so, my dyno apt is tomorrow. im not trippin about getting a tow down there, just hope that its not another issue thats keeping it from driving

A lot of guys already have tuners try to tune it a little bit themselves to at least get it driveable or most of the time they are installed at a shop that has a dyno on site to tune it while they are there. But yea, post pics up man. i think your numbers are going to be impressive with the addition of the intake and longtubes at the same time. How conservative are you going to go with the tune???

honestly im not sure... I kinda want to push it a lil bit. there are alot of fast cars in my area. we had a drag strip until about 2 years ago (LACR) and there are like 3 with in an hour from me, and there are 2 road racing courses about 15 min north of me (Ucant imagine how many evos and subis roll around me area). low 12's here is nothing

i dont care what set up you have, if you bolted an s/c to your car and you know how to drive low 12s is cake. altho you may need sticky tires to do much better lol
