The kit comes with an FMU. Which to be honest, I don't really like the idea of that. I of course have never used one due to the fact I've never run a supercharger, but it just seems like a band aid to me. I would just rather get a bigger set of injectors and a calibrated MAF.
That kit is designed to bolt on a bone stock unmodded engine.
But, I still have recommends.
1 upgrade your fuel pump to a high pressure 255lph. I use a Walbro GSS 340
2 Add an adjustable fuel pressure regulator for tuning purposes. I use a Kirban
3 Add an ignition box/boost retard for tuning purposes and amplifying spark to prevent spark blowout while under boost. I use an MSD 6BTM.
4 Replace your spark plugs with colder temp plugs. I use Autolite 23's gapped to .032
5 Get it tuned on a dyno.
If your engine is stock, this kit will run great,(after it's dyno tuned). If you modd the engine,increase boost, add power in any way you will need to upgrade to larger injectors and matching MAF ,and also add a bypass valve. Also, you wont need the kits provided FMU, because you wont need it with larger injectors.

Is an FMU basically a chip? Just so the thing will run? Im somewhat interested in this kit now. What kind of performance would you see with that low boost setup on a stock motor?

Lookin forward to seeing those. Guess the OP isnt too interested in his question haha.
Here's a comparison for you. Before we installed the sc-trim on my car we did a baseline pull on the dyno.
I doing this from memory, I wish I still had my old print outs to post.
The car made 249 rwhp before the supercharger.
After the install the car dyno tuned for a best of 312 rwhp. The 5-6 lb kit only made 4 lbs of boost on my car right out of the box.
So it resulted in 63 rwhp on 4 pounds of boost. Not too shabby!
But,, I was disappointed so the pulley swaps ect,ect,ect began. Long expensive story short, now it makes around 440rwhp.

Yes those numbers were before and after the blower install. And yes I added the supporting mods mentioned in my first post.
As I mentioned I was unhappy and immediately started modding with pulleys, larger injectors/meter, intake, ect,ect going for more power.

The Anderson power pipe would help get those 5-6lbs from a stock kit. I wish I would've started with a supercharger. I started with a H/C/I combo and less than a year later went supercharged as well so I had to change some stuff again but hey, you gotta pay to play. Now I'm at a nice 452rwhp/435rwtq on 9psi from my T-trim on a safe tune :thumbsup:

that's what I have is the trick flow kit but when I got the blower I had Ed Curtis grind me a cam to go better with the blower. The trick flow kit is great and it alone will get you 310-315rwhp (+/-).
