im using a fulidyne radiator with the factory clutch fan haven't had any problems over heating yet even in traffic. I plan on switching to a electric fan for clearance soon though.

hey guys, I just installed the mods in my sig recently and am already looking for more power. I was thinking the next logical step would be a supercharger. Now, I am looking to spend no more than $2k for a s/c installed(by me), figure ill have to find one used. I have some 24# injectors so would like to be able to use those so save some money. Now, what kinda boost should i run (should have about 9.5:1 comp) to be able to use my 24# injectors and not pull my headbolts out of my block?

Yeah I think you'll need at least 30lb's but you maybe able to find them with the kit. Make sure it comes with an FMU....if you have to buy one..then I would just buy 42lb injectors...no FMU and get car tuned....should run hard.

It looks like you are running a mild H/C/I. With that said 30lb injectors would be the least you could use. And you would also need an FMU w/the disk plate calibrated for the 30's. You can get the plates for under $40. You can get some nice used superchargers for cheap. Check out Corral.net under their classifieds.

alright ill check out the ads for some used equipment. suppose i could sell my 24s and put that towards something larger. besides fmu, injectors, and possibly new fuel pump, what else may i have to upgrade? i probably wont get around to this until next year but i want to start making a list, add up the cost.
