Question ***Will I Be Alright??? ***
Hey guy's, I need help on my car! I've just had a 9lbs. Supercharger, Trickflow stage 1 Cam, MSD btm, MSD Coil and had my stock heads rebuilt. My question is: I still have my stock fuel pump and stock injectors so will this hurt my car in anyway? I know I'm not getting the full potential of my motor yet but I just don't want to hurt my car. Thanks guy's!

good chance of blowing it up, running lean is way worse than running rich.
keep it under 3k and you should be fine, do NOT open it up.

Are you running an FMU. I think you're gonna be lean.

Yeah, It's a 92 LX so it's got a FMU. I'm going to install a 255 lph fuel pump since I can afford that now but it's going to be awhile before I can afford the injectors! Will the car be alright with 255 pump but the stock injectors?

at the very least you'll be running your injectors at full duty cycle....not safe my friend. i'd baby it until you can afford new injectors and matching MAF or tune.

get yourself some 24lbs (I think you'll need to swap out your injector harness as well, made for 24 lbers) and a 255lph fuel pump. Then you'll be good foo!

no, he'll need to swap out his MAF for one designed for 24#ers or have the stocker calibrated.

24# or 30# injectors will be fine....I ran a 9# Powerdyne, Stock Heads & Cam, Cobra intake, 3.55's with 24# & 155lph pump with NO problems...ran a 11.96@114.5 with this combo. on my 91 GT...
