New Bee Need Supercharger help I am a first time ls1 owner . A 1998 Firebird formula. What I did so far is dual 3" no cats, cold air intake with slp lid. I recently bought a powerdyne 6psi kit. Came with a fmu with an auxalry pump to use stock injectors. My question is can i bolt on the supercharger, run it through an intercooler and use 40 lb injectors? I also have an hp and would take it to a professional to get tuned. I would like to be at 500rwhp.

There isnt really any other answer to the vague question your asking.
As for 500rwhp...will your Powerdyne even support that ?
Ok, first off, 500rwhp at 6psi is not gonna happen on a stock engine. Id ditch the crappy fmu and get a professional tune. For your app 40's would probably get you by, 60's would be better. Get a better pump in the tank, I suggest a racetronix setup. A FMIC and some pipe, couplings, and 90's, ect would be the way to go and deffinitely get you closer to your goal than non intercooled setup would. It would also help keep the ls1 alive longer IMHO... GL...
