So currently on my '90 SC I have a 76mm MAF, a 75mm throttle body, a Magnum powers Inlet plenum, a ported '94/'95 blower, a raised SC top, a 5% OD jackshaft pulley, and a beefy AOD transmission with a shift kit and better plates to top it off. Also, a K&N air filter to fit in my stock air intake box (if that counts).
I'm to the point where I'm not sure about doing something without having to do something else first so I was looking for some input/guidance. I know I'm pushing a lot of air in now and don't want to burn valves or blow a head gasket. I'm looking at 42pound injectors, a 255lph fuel pump, mid length headers with brand new exhaust all the way back, front mount intercooler, aluminum radiator, and a computer chip in there somewhere to make it all fall in sync.
I know that if I upgrade injector size that I am going to need a chip burnt to make it run as it should, I can't do the headers without doing my exhaust all the way back and that's a convienient time to put in a 93+ style gas tank to get a more direct flowing exhaust. It would also be easy to do the fuel pump at the same time. The fuel pump would be useless until I put the bigger injectors in as well I'm guessing. The supercharger is being overheated I'm guessing with the psi that it's pushing that a FMIC seems like it'd be a good idea but with as hot as it runs, choking out the air that the stock radiator gets seems like a bad idea, so it seems like an aluminum radiator would be good to do at the same time.
I know everyone seems to say the exhaust should be done first but with as much as it was going to set me back it was going to probably put all those other items on hold. Any advice on the order I should integrate all of these would be much appreciated.
Thanks everyone.
