You need to ditch the FMU and upgrade to a set of marine injectors which are about 43lbs
You can get the injectors at racetronix's there a multec2 injectors
After that i would reccomend getttin a tune or buying Hptuners or ls1edit
Where about do you live ?

Get it tuned on the dyno by someone. As for injectors go, I think it depends on how much boost you are going to run. 5psi you might not need then but anything over that I think most people go with 42lber's

You need a good stall converter like 3000+for a procharger since they make boost in higher rpm's. Then go get your custom tune done!!

You definately need some custom tuning and larger injectors. I will tell you that the difference between 6 or 7# and 10# is night and day!! With the smaller pulley, you will see boost much sooner and it makes things alot more fun.
