Installation now complete....finally!
Hey guys, finally finished installing the blower and injection system on my 86 (finally meaning after numerous difficulties including a hydro-lock scenario, and very limited installation time thanks to the ball and chain and taking into consideration that Greg is making new underhood wheel trim for me to install later). As a recap, the car is an iron head 86. I installed:
1.6 rockers
TPIS Big Mouth manifold
ported plenum
BBK 52mm tb
FMS 42# injectors
AFPR
TPIS LT ceramic coated headers
RT high-flo cat (debating on gutting this thing now)
SLP mufflers
Carroll Superchargers kit with Paxton SN-60V @ 10psi with Gen III water/meth injection
etc...etc...
I'll get everyone some numbers when I get her tuned (still need to swap to some 3.07's here soon). I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who patiently answered my questions and offered suggestions when things were looking dim.

Good! How does it idle with the 42s? Have you hooked it up on a wideband?
