S/C need some advice.

I am going to be supercharged soon. Main purpose is because I always wanted a F/I car. Not power hungry on this either. I have 122k on my engine great compression still. Looking for low boost, the setup I am buying is 8psi. I might even just use stock pully for 5 psi. Looking to be safe as possible.

-V2 blower on V1 plate
-Planning on buying mattys plate
-Need top of the line belts
-Colder plugs?
-Walbro fuel pump?
-Stock injectors (All new from nissan)


Question becomes what walbro fuel pump should I get?
Colder plugs or stock plugs?
What PSI?
As for a tune for air/fuel what would be my safest, smartest, easy solution to not running out of spec?

Sorry for the questions. I don't read up much on F/I. Again keep in mind not looking to make the most power, keeping it simple, making it look nice, power when I need enough of it and running safe.

If you're not power hungry (yeah right, give it time) you can run 8psi all day long and have nothing to worry about. No need to upgrade fuel pump either, assuming you're buying a used complete kit and are getting Stillen's "T-rex" aux pump. Colder plugs are optional. You'll get mixed opinions on this one. IMO, For 6-8psi, I'd just use the stock plugs. Whether it's 6psi or 8psi, you're are well within the "safe" range as you call it and don't need any tuning or any additional parts. Don't worry about your A/F at this point either, you're well within the "safe" limits. With all that said, go for the 8psi.

No I haven't gotten the kit yet. Oct7th is my next payment to him and it will be a very big payment. I will, Im not in a rush to install it. Its getting very close to winter so for the time being I will just read stuff and see if i can get anything better. And thanks for the kind words. You and VIP maxima have been very nice to me about this, others unfortunatly haven't.
