Default Need to know what size Injectors for S/C.

I got a message from JD'sPerformance that my SC-Trim Supercharger is shiped today.

And I need to generate a shopping list of what I need to make this installation happen.

First I need to know what Injectors I need, I hear 42lbs but I also hear 36lbs or 38lbs are fine. I think I would perfer the 38lbs just because its going to be some sort of a Daily driver (mostly to work 4 miles in town) And maybe once or twice a month to school. 25 miles away. And ima be using 91 Octane and that **** is too expensive to be refilling all the time.

Also Will I be fine with the stock fuel pump? till next pay check (2 weeks out).

What should I gap the Plugs to? Will my Double Platiums Autolites be fine?

I need to start ordering stuff ASAP, so any info would be greatly apriciated.

Upgrade your fuel pump for sure. Also whats the PSI your going to be running? Maybe 38 will be enough.

Also what other car do you use to go to school?

So not the 38's?

What plugs should I go with Boch? Why should I ditch the platiums?

So should I get the Pump first then the injectors?

how much boost are you going to run? i'd gap your plugs at .35
if you gap to big the boost will blow out the spark

I'd go with the 42s just because you are only going to get faster with time. I always feel better with a little room to grow in the fuel system on a forced induction car. Check out this chart. It's flywheel hp and notice it's at the industry standard fp and not Ford's lower fp. So set it at factory fp and the numbers will be lower. The 36s may be near perfect now, but anything more (or if you car runs better than expected) you'll just be stretching them out. I bought 60s because I thought they'd be perfect and I wish I would have bought bigger now. I was at 92% duty cycle on the first dyno pull with plenty of blower to go.

BTW, figure about a .55 BFSC for a blower car.
