Default Supercharger?

I was thinkin of buying a remanufactured paxton 6psi for $1500. i mostly have bolt on still stock h/c/i. Want more hp but have to pay labor since i dont have room or time to do anything. heads and cam install is $3600 with parts. Labor for sc install is $1000. also a daily driver with 4.10 gears and aod. Think i should do it and buy 24# injectors? And will the motor be fine if the compression is still good?

what model is the paxton?

You may want to think about going with a Vorech V1 (run around 1800). Your motor will be fine, and with such low boost you should be fine with an FMU calibrated to you stock 19# injectors but youll need to get a fuel pump to be on the safe side

oil lines arnt horrible to do. Just the hole in the oil pan makes you a lil nervous.

That would be a good unit to go with! not to mention that its brand new so you know what you have
