i dont think so. if i remember correctly they were making huge gains around that much boost with an all stock motor.

of course. you always upgrade the fuel when adding a blower. you dont want to run lean, do you?

I'm not sure about the injectors though, I think they have been upgraded.

oops. my bad. u can get an optional methanol injection kit that supplements the stock fuel system so you can use stock injectors and it cools the intake charge so u dont get detonation.
