Mine was 1976 Corvette Firemist Red, with gold pearl.

Mostly stock, C4, some suspension upgrades, Appliance wheels, and, of course (for its day) a ridiculous stereo.

By the time I sold it:
Clifford headers
into 2.25 single pipe in
1 3/4 dual out muffler, into GT tips (sounded like a straight six jags!)
lowered front A-arm (shelby specs)
air shocks in rear w/ individual fill lines.
Addco rear sway bar. Nylon bushings front and rear.
Battery in trunk.
AM/FM/CB Pioneer radio.
Cruise control
THIS IS THE BEST>>>>>> a led digital odometer/mpg gauge

Yes the 19s would have been sufficient but I went with the cobra 24s for a Lil extra room for tunning.

don't know where your getting your information from but 24's & def 19's are not sufficient for a supercharger. you will be at 100% duty cycle. you would want 30's at a minimum and even at that 36's would be giving you a little room to add more boost. 42's would give you plenty to grow with.

check out an injector chart, just my .02

good luck

24s r fine...it's not like I'm building a beast overhere...it's just a Lil something. 24s have been done with no problem

I'd take his advice and go with at least 36s. And larger pump. I had an 89 gt stock block/crank/rods/pistons/heads/ intake. I only had a cam in it with 1 3/4 headers. With only 4 lbs of boost I was at 340 hp at the wheels and I ran out of injector. ( they were 24s) this was dyno tuned on a mustang dyno and it was a paxton centrifugal. Also the tuner said once you hit about 500 horse the fuel lines must be upgraded from the stock( which i think is "5/16) to 3/8.

Should be able to tune it for mileage. Just make sure it's a good tuner who totally understands you want a lean cruise with no boost until you really get into it. Gota be careful especially with a stock bottom end. There was a civic on here that tuned 230 horse to the wheels but was specifically tuned for mileage at cruise. I think he was getting like close to 60mpg.

With the vortech it's only going to push around 280 with an fmu but I plan on using a tune which should put it around 330ish area and yes I am upgrading the pump to a 255lph...if I happen to need bigger injectors Ill get them but I got the 24s for $40 so I went ahead and installed them...can't go wrong with that.

That's a very good deal!! I think new sets are upwards of 300 bux if I remember correctly
