+1, at 5lbs you still will need a upgrade, i would hold off, and might as well upgrad the ignition system while your at it, fuel, intake, MAF, ETC
ive never heard of only having 24lb injectors with ANY boost, nor do i really know if its "do-able" might want to contact the company, or someone else that would know a little better.

Here is my current setup:
BBK CAI (Obviously going on eBay
), 76mm MAF (cal to 24s), 70mm TB, 75mm EGR, 75mm Trickflow StreetHeat.....For ignition, MSD TFI Blaster, MSD 6al, MSD Wires/Cap/Rotor......
What do you think?

that sounds pretty good, You shouldnt need to upgrade the ignition TO much since its a pretty low boost #, you may need to get a different spark plug depending (contact vortech)

imo 30# inj would be good. with that hci and supercharger i would imagine it would be close or at 400rwhp which many people run with 30's. ignition should also be good other than like stated new spark plugs.

30's are a little too small as if u ever wanted to change the pulley and up the boost you will need bigger injectors like 42's , also gonna need to throw it back on the dyno to tune again and check the a/f ratio or...kaboom...

42lb injectors, get the MAF working with the new injectors, prob get proper plug's, and a tune.
i think youd be ready at that point to max the boost to the injectors/block

RE: SUPERCHARGER, V-1 SC-TRIM...worth it?
OK.....so final verdict:
Get 42lb injectors (I could sell my 24s on eBay...help offset the cost), call Vortech for the right plugs.......and get the new dyno-tune (my tuner specialized in Vortech installs!!).......that is not too bad......
Thanks for the help! Now can you guys give me some help on how I can get my wife to buy off on it?
