Depending on the kit you get you may need a bigger fuel pump and injectors.

The MAF may need to be modified\replaced to work with the new injectors and setup.

And you may have a problem using the SCT Xcalibrator with the new setup.

what kind of problems would i encounter with the SCT xcal, should i sell it and get the xcal2? or what also they a mongoose kit available and it comes with the MPH tune but should i rely on that or get the xcal2 and go to a dyno shop thats local??? also what injectors i know ppl that run great with only 30# or 36# do i need 42#?

I'd look into ditching the Xcal and go with a Diablo programmer. it works wonders. if you need any other info call Modular Madness NC and ask to speak with a guy named Paul. The number is 704-660-3464

He'll talk you through it or even do it for you, whichever you preferr.

Hope that helps some.

Later.

I would talk to the shop where you'll have your tuning done about what tuner they prefer. I have no complaints with my XCalibrator, but I know some folks do prefer other ones. Mail order tunes are OK to get you up and running when you install the blower but after that you really need to go to a shop and get a dyno tune.
