Check places like superchargeresonline.com, etc.

Also, I would say atleast go with a set of 42lb injectors and a 76mm + MAF. Also, check out the fuel pump to see what you have. If its smaller than a 255 than change it out for one. They will run you about a hundred bucks. As for boost, I would just get a tune before you even try turning the boost up at all. IMO I really wouldnt take it too much past 450rwhp. Anything after that is pushing the stock block. Get a tune and see how you run on the dyno at 8psi and work your way up until you reach the numbers that you are looking for. Im thinking that your only going to be able to get it up to 10-12psi before you max out but the dyno will tell you for sure. And like BlackSnake said, you should start looking to upgrade your ignition while your at it.

I will upgrade the ignition system along with a larger MAF and fuel pump as well as some bigger injectors...Thanks again for the advice ya'll

I talked to a friend of mine today that has a Vortech S-Trim, and he said I'd be better off going with a T-trim. Any thoughts on this or should I stick with the Paxton. I know that's like asking what's your favorite food, but I'm just looking for some of your experiences and opinions as to what's the best to go with.

Thanks again,
Taurus
