first set aside a weekend
you will need a 190 pump intank plus a tex 75 pump..it's pretty straight foward in bolting things in depending on what S/C you might need to put a hole in the oil pan..no biggie. at 6 psi you don't in no way need an intercooler
6 psi is good for a stock bottom end. a msd/accel ingition would help as will 1 step cooler plugs and 93 only gas..
a big maf is also need something in the 73-76 n'hood

you'll definately need new injectors with that supercharger and new fuel pump. While your at it, get a new TB and MAF: then your golden. Cam would be nice, as would new rockers.

Psh. Buying it is far from putting it on.

Why do you think that during breaks I'm going to be building a motor (yes, a Saturn motor to drop in a P.O.S. body)? It's gonna be a juice hog, with approximately 275 horses when I'm done.

I could easily buy a motor with forged internals and a tapped manifold, but ya know what? Nothing beats the learning experiance of doing it yourself.

And I'll be able to hang with a lot of 350's and 302's when I'm done, I'm going to enjoy the shock factor a lot<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">

My Vortech was a pretty big job to install. The instructions are written as if you can do it in a day. B/S. Just tapping the pan took a whole day. When I first installed it I was running a 255lph pump and stock 19lb injectors. I ran 8lbs boost with no problems. The stock injectors (at high fuel pressure) can support 320-380 horse. The kits are designed for bolting on to stock motors. It's when you start changing cams/heads and boost levels you'll need to up the fuel delivery and computer needs.
