Default D.I.Y Supercharger

Hi all.
I know I'm going to get alot of heat for this - so here it goes.

So, I'm creating a D.I.Y Supercharger setup. So far I have the M90 Supercharger from the Thunderbird setup but only the S/C and I have created the base to sit the M90 - I'm currently creating the "Spider legs" to the shock towers for support.

I still need to create the inlet to the throttle body and then run piping.

I do have a few questions if anyone is willing to help my project.

Because I have the 3.8 M90 from a Thunderbird would I still be required to upgrade the injectors?

How about tuning, would a simple SCT 93 octane tune be enough for simple things such as crusing down the strip?

the bsfc is different for supercharged tunes vs. n/a.

And no, a 93 octane tune would be going in the wrong direction as far as timing is concerned.

You most likely need to contact someone on eectuning.org about a def file for your year model car which can be used with a moates quartehorse and binary editor.

64-bit on here may be able to help you as well, but he will want to be compensated for his time and effort tuning your vehicle. Being is isn't a 5.0, he may not even fool with it if he doesn't have the def file I am referring to.
