Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying a used paxton supercharger for my '96 gt. The owner says it puts out about 5lbs of boost, but I wanted to change the pulley to get a little more out of it...My question is, besides the supercharger what else to I need to buy to run it? Do I ABSOLUTELY NEED bigger injectors, fuel pump and a tune? I don't have that much right now to spend on this so I'm just trying to figure out how much this will cost me when its all said and done. Thanks for any input.

YES YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED INJECTORS, FUEL PUMP AND TUNE! :)

255lph focus pump will run you like 89 bucks brand new from Ford, 42 lb injectors, um you are looking around 220ish i've seen used 42lb injectors go for pretty cheap. and you will need a tune. Your fuel will be all out of wack and the car will run but you put the motor at risk of being blown if you don't get a tune. it's probably cheaper to get a chip and tune but either way you are probably looking at a good 300ish+ for your chip and tune

you can go the fmu route but a good set of injectors/maf/tune will yield the best streetability of all options
