Default Fueling question

2014 base stingray
I added aa si supercharger w/3.6 pulley, longtube headers w/catted x-pipe and alky kit. I was gonna run boost juice but my tuner said I should either run straight meth or change to lt4 fuel pump and rails to run boost juice which is what I prefer to use. What are your thoughts? Also I was wondering if I need to change the fpcm too if I upgrade to lt4 rails, injectors, and fuel pump? Thanks!

LT4 injectors and HPFP will get you there with 93 octane. No meth needed.

Should. either way, LT4 fuel system is better fuel distribution to the cylinders than meth is so I would recommend doing that and then if the fuel cuts out then you can add meth at that point..

Thanks guys, i decided to go lt4 injectors and lt4 HPFP and I’m gonna run boost juice instead of straight meth. I didn’t do the rails so I’ll find out if I need those once I get the pump and injectors installed this week

LT1 rails will work just fine with the LT4 pump and injectors.
