Topgunz - air to air upgrade

I've read (somewhere) that idling can be an issue with large injectors. Is that true? My car is a "fair weather ride". Not daily but driven when the weather is

Only issues I've ever heard were cold start issues. From what I understand as long as you buy quality injectors and have a good tuner, you should be fine.

I will 3rd that recommendation. He is the only guy I would buy fuel systems from since his knowledge and customer service is impeccable. I have spoke with him about this and numerous other things in the past. I even took his tire recommendations because he is the guy that has "been there, done that".

I dropped that supercharger anti-flex brace off at a machine shop and got a quote this morning. So I need to know exactly how much interest there is on this. Set up cost on this is very expensive. I will try a different shop as well but as it sits here is what it will take for me to make these. The price points are pretty drastic.

Qty: 1 = $800
Qty: 3 = $575
Qty: 6 = $450
Qty: 12 = $325
Qty: 24 = $282

Haven't been back to the forums for awhile, but is the purpose of this particular anti flex barce to increase/maintain maximum belt tension or to prevent future issues with the stock bracing or both? Don't have an idea how this looks.

Thanks

Is the anti-flex bracket necessary if you do not plan on pushing big power? My goals are only around 450ish to keep it manageable.

I would run this bracket no matter what, doesn't matter the power.

Go out to your car, Grab your Supercharger belt and twist it.

Watch the whole blower flex towards the back of the car, very flimsy.

If you can do this with your fingers, imagine how much it flexes under heavy load.
