Default Is the 4lb Procharger kit worth the trouble?

Is this kit worth the trouble? Yes I will eventually upgrade to the 7lb. I just want to start somewhere with the car, it is now just a basic bolt-on car. Will the car detonate in cold weather? I will be running 93oct. and Tr6's. Also what times should I expect? 12.70's so far on stock radials. M6, full weight, that sort of stuff.
Thanks

Just get the 7psi kit. What brand are you looking at? I would guess its procharger. I've got the 7 psi kit and have not updated the fuel injectors, or computer. My car runs a bit rich, but I have changed the fuel pump, and added a FMU. Heres my results click here

theres almost noe way you would detonate at all. and fyi detonation is more likely to occur in hot weather. i would just get the 5 or 7lb kit and work from there

As soon as you get that on, you'll want more. I'd go with the 7 and call it good...

If you call 110 RWHP worth the trouble! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

But, will you stay satisfied? Nope! <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Not that I'm against FI, mind you. I'm heavily invested there, but what's up?
