Can anyone tell me what the best fuel injectors and throttle body would be best to run with a 6lbs. paxton supercharger? I am also going to change it to 10 lbs.

With the new injectors you're definately going to want to go to a higher capacity fuel pump, like 255lph or so. 42lb injectors should be more than sufficient but even 24s might cut it. I'd go with the 42# and an 80mm mass air along with a 75mm TB.

The injector's are color coded. I'll give it a shot, brown are 19's,24's are blue and that's all I know.

you dont HAVE to upgrade injectors. the kit will come with an fmu that raises fuel pressure with boost. but bigger injectors would be better than using the fmu. you dont have to change throttle bodys, and you will need a bigger fuel pump.

if it isnt opening up, your car would over heat untill melt down.
