supercharger?

[Red 97]

Ive been looking a bit at vortech superchargers. The kits say they come with a FMU or fuel manegment unit. Does this eliminate the need for larger fuel injectors?

Trust me, dont run an FMU. You'll want to get a custom dyno tune to get the full potential.

If you do purchase a Vortech supercharger don't run an FMU.
Get a custom dyno tune don't risk blowing your bottom end to pieces
because of possible detonation.

So If I were to piece together a kit would I have to get bigger injectors, instead of an fmu and running 19ld injectors. And when I go get a tune what do I need? Do they just reflash my ecm or do I need a chip/ tuner? Im not going to run alot of boost either.

yes you will need injectors (id go with 42#), a bigger fuel pump, and a handheld tuner for your tuner to upload the tunes on (SCT X-cal2/3). Other than that, an upgraded MAF, plugs, and all the parts/pieces for the blower.

I figured that maybe I could piece together a kit and save some money but looks like this route is expensive to :wall: Is a blower even worth it?

soory that was a repost

It was for me. After a dyno tune my numbers are 380rwhp and 369tq. It all depends what you want to do to your car.

just curious but why is an fmu so bad? thats what comes with the vortech kit.
