injectors and timing
I searched for these questions already and not coming up with any answers. First off I bought a vortech supercharged 92 lx yesterday.
The supercharger is a v2 with 8-9 lbs of boost, it also has the ignition boost control. The car also has the stock injectors with no upgraded mass airflow. What I need to know is where should my timing be on the car, and what injectors I should be using. Also what should I do with the boost retard switch? where to set it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: injectors and timing
No real problems, it revs to 6500 easily, but I think the timing was screwed with for the smog here in calif. I'm going to buy a mass air, and thought I should increase the injectors to 24 lbs just for future items. I don't think the 24lbs will hurt anything. At high rpms, it sounds like it is breaking up a little. I tuned it up with new plugs, wires, rotor and tomorrow a fuel filter. I also called vortech and they said the boost retard should be set at 2 1/2 to 3, but he was rushing me off the phone because they were busy. thanks for the reply

RE: injectors and timing
I would go with no less then 24s (I would run bigger my self) also a a step colder on the plugs and gap them at 35 to help keep the boost from blowing out the spark may not be to much of a problem with low boost numbers but wont hurt anything. as far as timing I would start at 10 and see how it goes from there be very careful not to detonate the motor. IMO
