Default supercharging 89 vette

I'm new to this forum. Just bought the car.
Is ATI the only kit maker for this year?
Has anyone used the 6 lb. kit and is it complete? Are there any problems with the kit?
Will I need new injectors?

thanks JJG

No, Yes, of course!, and No...


....You'll always have problems if you don't do it right. You can just slap it on like a air filter and forget about it. But it's still worth doing :thumbs:

It's been done before :D
The MAF will adjust for the 6 lbs. no problem
Make sure someone has not put a chip in it. They advance the timming and you don't want that with the blower.

oh BTW: Welcome to the Forum :cheers:

A good place to start is:
http://www.procharger.com http://www.superchargeronline.com http://www.carrollsupercharging.com http://www.superchargers4less.com

These are the places that sell complete kits. You can understand the basics here and find a 6lb kit for yourself.

Vortech and Procharger units are both solid, it just depends how much power you want and how muchyou want to spend. Paxton isn't necessarily bad but I've heard some bad stories from Mustang and 3rd Gen guys. Not all bad, just some.
