what kinda of programmer do you have in mind? also you need bigger injectors with having a blower they add quite a bit and to help atomize the fuel from your new injectors you will need a throttle body spacer. shortie headers are the way to go. also since your boosted you need a bigger maf. also a bigger throttle body

Sweet they are at the and more at sometimes, this thing must really be running good, the smoke, I kinda thought that. but when I was wide open the other night, it sounded like alot of change or metal rattiling around??? What could that be, something loose. I though it could be detonation, but my tuner assured me it was fine???

No, for max power the injectors must be over 100%, shoot for 130%. And if your adding a supercharger, you will need to install a tornado after it so the air spins going into the intake. But make sure you keep the stock exhaust system to maintain proper back pressure.

thats the boosted air as its being forced into the motor by your electric supercharger ..no worries

its been provin to have one before and after the blower
back pressure is just a myth. take your manifolds off and run open exuast ports..a supercharger needs as little back pressure as it can get by with to be efficient

I'd recommend a port and polished MAF sensor so increase flow. People don't realize this, but there is a lot to be gained from weight reduction. I drive a lowered truck and I realized my c-notches on the rear part of my frame were weighing me down so i removed them.

Also, I removed my A/C in regards to weight reduction. To get some air flow in there I routed my tailpipe into the cab so I can get a bit of circulation.
