new supercharger
I just bought a used supercharger from ben blanco, and have some questions. First off my car has 132000 miles on it and runs excellent. My compression in every cylinder was 200 psi. so I think compression is good. My question is if I go ahead and get the walbro high psi 255l pump so i need a regulator or what? and I've seen a lot of stuff on the fmu disc like 8:1 and the like, is this basically like a regulator? also is there any good ideas you boys can give me as far as preventive maintance--like new head gaskets, I plan on turning up the boost from 6.5 to 9psi and then eventually to 13 with an intercooler. Do i need to o-ring / get new head gaskets--copper? I'm worried about blowing a head gasket with only 6.5 lbs boost, any advice? Although my car runs perfect and I'm doing all the work my self.

I don't think there's any worry with blowing a head gasket if you're below 10 psi. If you go up to 13, then maybe so, I dunno.
