Default ALK injection guys please

What kits did you guys go with?? What pump??? How dificult is tuning and setup?? Will the PCM have to be reprogrammed for anything other than the increase in boost I will be running?? I'll be using 42# injectors so I think fuel requirements will be covered.
Any other info is greatly appreciated

New right?? That sounds cool. That is the company I am thinking of going with. It will probably be a little bit since I havent even gotten the 42# injectors yet. Hopefully this weekend. I waiting on a 6K bonus check for this quarter and they are dragging *** . I read a post in the FI forum about the different pumps they have so Im looking for what would be best for my app. Im hoping to have the charger installed in the next 2 weeks, then 2 weeks after that I should be ready to get the kit. Provided I can get a little help from some of the pro's here .

Setting up the Alky kit is a no brainer. Its set to come on at a certain boost, and the amount that is sprayed is between 1 and 10. You is set it to come on just before the boost that you want. In you case set it to come on at 7# of boost.

Since I have a centrifugal, can I set it up progressively?? Say 50% at 3# and 100# at 9#??? This is what I mean. I need to know what kind of setup to get. Thanks alot.

Here is what the SMC unit looks like, with some aluminum brackets I made


Here it is installed


Here is the controller. By moving the connector block on the controller, I was able to fit it in the dash without cutting.


The pump does ramp up as boost increases, but you don't need too much of that. After all, how much time do you spend at partial boost? It is usually an all or nothing affair
