Supercharger Question

[1hot87gt]

Guys. Looking to supercharge my fox. Been doing some research, but want your opinions. Definitely want something that does not require an oil line from the pan. Don’t want anything more than about 6lbs of boost as my 87 is still running her stock piston rings which are now 30 years old. Motor has a cam, heads, cobra intake which is port matched to a 70mm Accufab. 30# injectors and a Walbro 255 pump in tank. Thinking Vortech V3. Am I on the right track for a 50-60 horsepower gain?

Figure about 10-15hp for every # of boost. I would go with at least 42# injectors, no FMU, and a tune.
There are two levels of V3- standard and HO
One is 6 rib and one 8 rib

Vortech V3 will get you where you need to be like mike said . 42lb injectors , in tank pump 340lph and a Pro m mass air meter with a good tune will net you lots of safe fun and power . Oh and room to grow of course .

...and a new radiator, a new fan...anything to keep it cool. Superchargers produce a lot of heat, but not as much as a turbo. Not much air flow through a Fox body engine compartment

30# injectors and a Walbro 255 pump in tank will work just fine.
