Once it all set and running good, its very satisfying feeling to finish it yourself. Best of luck once again!

thanks man. yeah, i appreciate all the help and info I've gotten from everyone here and I think i'm ready. I love doing my own work. only thing i'm not looking forward to is the power steering lines and figuring out where to mount my gauges. i'm so indecisive sometimes lol

plus, all my labor costs = just beer and snacks. lol

I did my install in stages, one per weekend

1st Fuel pump (had a second pump from E-bay)

2nd Injectors (just change the "K Factor" in your standard tune) runs fine

3rd The big weekend, all others.

Mine is a DD and I wanted to know I had the little things right before I started... no leaks in the fuel system and a good set of injectors.

I did not use the PS line kit, I made the stock High pressure line work, the low side I used some extra hose. Good Luck

Baer: Thanks, I will keep that in mind, I really appreciate it.

pokeyl: Good to know, thanks man. How long did the 3rd weekend take? I'm guessing with the cable, I can change the "K Factor" with my laptop? I'd love to learn how to tune myself.

I have my Jeep for DD duties while she's down. Gonna try and install gauges next week maybe. I gotta order those sometime this week. Where did you guys tap in for your boost gauge?

You won't have to mess with the "K" factor at all just get the tune from Sam and start with that ,Sam's tunes are good you just have to lean them out.

I only changed the K Factor because I ran the large injectors for a week before I did the supercharger install.

Week 3 was two 8 hour days, that was taking my time and checking it twice, The instructions are "spot on"!!!

I had a used kit, a new one with all the parts should go faster.

If someone can tell me the stock crankshaft pulley size I'll do the math on the two at 3000-7500 at different boost/SC pulley sizes.
