Default Q's on sts kit

hello im a bit new to this fourm. i had a question about the sts kit. first off i have a 98 Z w/ catback slp and a lid (i kow not much). but i was wondering exactly what else will i need to support the extra power gains. also what will i need to jack up the boost to 7 psi and will me car handle 7psi with out having to go meth or bigger injectors as well as blowing it up or breaking my drivetrain? any info would be greatly appreciated thank you.

You should run bigger injector with just the basic 4-5lb kit.The only way to run 7-8lbs is bigger injector's(42lb) Front mount intercooler or Methenol.

Racetronix sells the injectors and you can probably get the pusher pump from them too.

No 7psi for you unless you have an intercooler or meth..
